I wholeheartedly agree that we should improve our automation and our tooling. However,
I don't think it should be a blocker for -v3. When we did i686, I simply built the package
and I was not able to test it. With -v3, the situation is different, most here can test
both packages.

The distro as a whole will benefit from this new architecture. We *do* have issues when
it comes to the tooling, that's a given. I don't know what else we can do, other than recruiting
people interested in helping with it.
