As some of you know the mips port has some problems keeping up.

Iīve been told that this is caused by some toolchain and kernel problems on
mips that make the buildds running slow.

So, when watching http://m68k.bluespice.org/buildd/mips_stats over the past
weeks, itīs obvious that mips is heavily struggling on its backlog. 

On m68k we usually know all of those problems as well and having many
machines always helped a lot when one machine or another failed to work
properly. So, the idea was to help themips port with additional mips
machines that can be used as buildds. 

Everything went well with that machine - until we directed the request to
debian-admin to get wanna-build access for mips. The request was rejected
with the following reasons (to my knowledge):
- another machine is in the works
- we donīt need your machine
- you donīt have any knowledge about mips, so the machine wouldnīt be of any
help at all.

As a result and a sort of protest, Iīll stopped my m68k buildd, because I
donīt know m68k that much to be of any help for this port anymore. Therefore
my m68k isnīt needed anymore as my offered mips machine isnīt needed for the
mips port or the Debian project at all.
