4. 4) F20 PA Promotion (bconoboy, 20:33:40)
   1. Proposal posted on devel-list by Jaroslav Reznik on Tuesday https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/184962.html (bconoboy, 20:36:27)
   2. Numerous issues raised on list: (bconoboy, 20:37:14)
   3. 1: llvm still broken, causing llvmpipe to fail, removing 3d graphics support and no gnome desktop (bconoboy, 20:37:47)
   4. 2: stackprotector support in glibc questionable (bconoboy, 20:38:12)
   5. 3: Delta between build times is still being raised. This is a particular problem for eclipse and other java-using packages since openjdk is less optimized (bconoboy, 20:39:21)
   6. stack protection is supposed to be working (according to ARM's tools team). We are looking into that. (jonmasters, 20:42:26)
   7. llvmpipe has a crash issue in the binary, which can be dug into. Suggestion is to raise whether GNOME desktop really has to be a blocker for PA (jonmasters, 20:42:59)
   8. FYI, ARM BZs are tracked in the 'ARMTracker' alias (bconoboy, 20:57:56)
