+<p><strong>Binary Upload Restrictions.</strong>  James Troup
 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/01/msg00760.html">\
-sent</a> an update about binary upload restrictions.  He pointed out four
-reasons of why these restrictions have been put in place: (1) reproducibility;
-(2) logging; (3) build effort coordination and (4) emulated/cross-compiled
-buildd-ing considered potentially harmful.  The message also contains details
-of why are the current set of restrictions in place, in the case of arm it was
-a response of uploads from emulated buildds and alpha because of the relocation
-of main buildd.</p>
+explained</a> that reproducibility and <a href="http://buildd.debian.org/">\
+logging</a> of automatic package builds together with build effort
+coordination caused binary-only uploads to be denied for several architectures
+and suites.  Emulated or cross-compiled package builds are still considered
+potentially harmful and thus not encouraged.  He added implementation details
+and illustrated the events that lead to these restrictions.</p>
