Which will be a de facto drop of that archs, yes.
Many serious bugs on some archs are already ignored by maintainers for a
long time - until a release is coming and they realizes that their package
is being held back from migrating to testing by those archs. Then the
maintainer usually whines about those fscking slow and unused archs being a
showstopper for the release.
