Comment (by adamwill):
"Do we have similar criteria for s390x and PowerPC?"
No.
"1) You wait until a proposal for promotion TO a primary architecture is
worked out and incorporate whatever comes from that into the criteria"
That's obviously possible, but I thought it would be nicer to try and ramp
up *some* kind of testing for ARM before we get to that point, given that
ARM is obviously a key area already.
"2) Draft a general set of "Secondary Architecture" criteria with a
smaller (possibly optional) subset of things for architecture specific
stuff (e.g. U-Boot in ARM vs. Yaboot in PowerPC). "
James Laska started such an effort prior to leaving the QA team, but he
never completed it. Honestly, I consider ARM substantially more important
than PPC or s390x, and am trying to keep things simple by proposing we
just deal with ARM rather than complicate matters with the other, less
important secondary arches.
