Which is why I proposed elsewhere that the standard be set as something like
"must be able to build packages in no more than 150% [or other reasonable
figure] of the time taken by the most popconular arch". Let the porters for
an arch work out how they want to satisfy the criteria (cross-compilation,
distcc, magic beans), as long as they meet it.
