For example, you could choose to skip keywording Qt5... as more and
more apps and Qt-based libraries transition from Qt4 to Qt5, the
number of keyworded/stable packages will also drop for ia64, since you
will gradually lose all packages that have become Qt5-only.
If you're looking for an immediate reduction of ia64 packages, you can
go a step further and drop Qt4 keywording as well (maybe with the
exception of dev-qt/qtcore which is needed by some non-GUI apps),
especially considering that ia64 is server-oriented, and that all your
machines don't have a video card.
These are just some random suggestions; if the ia64 arch team is
interested, let us (the qt team) know so that we can figure out the
details together.
Thanks,
Davide
