That doesn't seem to match up very well with:

"there is a general feeling that twelve architectures is too many to try
to keep in sync for a release without resulting in severe schedule
slippage."

I agree with the idea that architectures that have a history of falling
behind and having severe toolchain breakage shouldn't be allowed to hold
up the other architectures from releasing, but if it's the feeling of
the release team that releasing that many architectures is basically
impossible then we may have problems.
