You know what - this is pure and utter bullshit. Keeping it around for "slower" arches does NOT block progress. I have intimate knowledge with what ACTUALLY happens when people pull this bullshit - and that is a system that I can no longer actually work on. And instead of working towards a fix that actually works for people who are ACTUALLY affected by the shitty policy, you hide behind definitions and pedantry. I'm now going to take a break from Gentoo development because this thread has seriously caused my blood to boil based on comments from the peanut gallery (you) where things don't actually affect your day to day work, but your actions do affect mine.
