RFC: Demote i686-pc-windows-gnu to Tier 2 by Noratrieb · Pull Request #3771 · rust-lang/rfcs (original) (raw)

I addressed some of the feedback I thought was worth putting into the RFC text itself.

The target tier policy says

A proposed new tier 1 target must be reviewed and approved by the compiler team based on these requirements. In addition, the release team must approve the viability and value of supporting the target. For a tier 1 target, this will typically take place via a full RFC proposing the target, to be jointly reviewed and approved by the compiler team and release team.

It does not say what teams should be involved in the demotion of a tier 1 target, but I leaned on the side of caution and chose to include compiler and release. I guess release can judge the non-viability and lack of value of supporting the target :D

I don't expect this to be controversial, so
