Unless I missed something, this is wrong. Andi is not interested in _maintaining_ the merged
architecture. Maintenance includes reponsibility and not wanting to be responsible for the
merged architecture is quite understandable, given his numerous objections.
But I would be quite surprise if Andi will stop working on x86_64 completely. [side note: He
was frequently proclaimed maintainer of i386 as well, but never wanted the job.]
