I like the idea, really. But we're seeing serious resistance to the suggestion that package maintainers should even have to look at _native_ build failures on architectures which used to build, even though such failures are _often_ indicative of a generic problem and not an arch-specific problem. Do you really think we're going to get them to care about cross builds too? I _did_ care about cross-compilation, and I gave up on it. I really don't think we have much chance of getting package maintainers (and upstreams) to handle it.
