Hi Sean and other policy editors,

it may appear strange to resume a thread that was last discussed seven 
years ago. Yet, we picked up this matter at the Würzburg sprint and 
iterated a lot on the proposal refining and extending it to cover all 
Multi-Arch values.

I am really sorry I failed to follow up back then as I really do agree 
that having something in policy would help a lot.

You'll fine the result of two days of discussion and iteration among 
Jochen, josch, Holger and myself attached.

Kind regards

Jochen, josch and Helmut
