It doesn't make sense to discuss requirements for becoming a primary
architecture without discussing whether it should be considered in the first
place. I don't see ANY reasons why it's needed. And as I wrote in my first
reply in this thread, I don't think there should be a generic process for
becoming a primary architecture at all, it should be a change done only in
very exceptional cases.
