If this is the case, IMHO: - it's a decision to be made by the project as a whole, not just one individual; - if the decision is made, there should be one major release cycle before it's done; - our userbase (admittedly small) should have a heads-up that they will have to migrate after that timeframe. fwiw, unlike alpha, which was withdrawn because it had ceased to function, sparc64 and ia64 work and have active developer(s), so I don't think it would be entirely fair to cite its removal as a precedent. tl;dr: just because you don't use these boxes doesn't mean others don't. mclReceived on Sun Sep 01 2013 - 16:04:02 UTC
