Can you summarize the technical reasons for this dichotomy of
outcomes? In what way does the presence of old targets pose a
technical challenge to more modern multiarch'd ones? In other words,
what technical reasons exist to not allow old targets to stick around
as they are?
The rationale for this move has been discussed on a number of occasions
in the past, can I recommend a quick search through the e-mail archives
and a review of that previous debate.
