Well, if the package or some version of it doesn't work at all, you can always mask it on the arch or drop keywords. The arch team doesn't need permission to do this stuff - the keywords and profiles really "belong" to the arch team, and we just allow maintainers to do their best job with them to make the job of the arch team easier. Obviously if you actually want the problem fixed that requires bugs/etc. But you don't need a bug to drop a keyword and at least make it clear that the package doesn't work. Rich
