I wonder, might this be an interesting time to reintroduce multiple architectures?

We used to offer i686 and x86_64.

Maybe now we could offer x86_64, x86_64-v2, and x86_64-v3. Or go right to -v4.

That is a possibility that has been discussed over the years. It was previously decided that we needed other architecture builds to be automated, and thus automated package signing. This becomes a possibility once we manage to sign databases (which will hit a decade of pacman support in October!). Allan
