Purpose
The purpose of this page is to demonstrate that mips and mipsel meet the [http://release.debian.org/etch_arch_criteria.html architecture recertification criteria for etch].
If some of these requirements are irrelevant or implausible for the port, please add a waiver request indicating why and how this isn't a problem for the arch in bold.
