Please add support for advanced grammar in organize
Metadata
Current evaluation
Advanced grammar in organize is requested, including try and on $arch; a maintainer acknowledged core22+ support in craft-parts, but no implementation is recorded.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The request is concrete: the author says organize currently forces override-build and asks for try and on $arch; @~sergiusens replied that it can be done for core22 onwards in craft-parts. The inspected grammar key list omits organize, and the 8.2.0 changelog's broad claim about all part keywords is not backed by a resolving commit or PR, so the issue should remain open pending verification.
