<title>Arch specific notes — x86</title>
<body>

<p>
Originally it was assumed that all developers had access to x86 hardware,
so there was no arch team created for x86. This is no longer the case, and
x86 is to be treated like any other arch with regards to moving a package to
stable.
</p>

<p>
If you want your application to be moved to stable on x86, please
contact the x86 team. If your package requires specific hardware, or a specific
non-trivial setup to test, then we will probably allow you to mark it stable,
unless someone on the team can test it.

<title>x86 team guidelines</title>
<body>

<p>
The following is a list of rules and expectations for members of the x86 team:
</p>

<ul>
  <li>
    If you need one of your packages stable, file a bug to the team.  You are not
    exempt from the same rules everyone else must follow.
  </li>
  <li>
    Take part in discussions on bugs or the alias when team members ask for input
  </li>
</ul>
