The problem is that applying this patch would entail rebuilding every package that depends on 'glib' for i686-linux, which is likely on the order of thousands of packages. By policy, we don't make changes that require so many rebuilds on our 'master' branch. Instead, such changes must be made on 'core-updates', or possibly 'staging', which are merged into 'master' a few times a year. The plan seems to have been to remove the conditional on our 'core-updates' branch, so that the 'increase-test-timeout' phase would be included on *all* architectures. See the comment above the code: However, I see now that the 'increase-test-timeout' phase was recently completely _removed_ by Efraim on our 'core-updates' branch a couple of weeks ago, in the following commit: Efraim: What was the rationale for removing that phase? I think it would be good to keep that phase, for the benefit of users building 'glib' on slower machines. I think the intent was to remove the conditional, but to keep the body that's within the conditional. What do you think?
