It might be worthwhile to have at least one big-endian 64-bit architecture in the mix because this one will catch some of the porting difficulties a similar SCC architecture might run into. Unfortunately, I don't think there is an architecture which is fully supported by upstream (toolchain and kernel), so this plan might be impossible to carry out. I'm a bit disappointed how the decision has been made. I would have hoped that Debian as an organization would be able to reach a workable, rough consensus through open discussion. On the other hand, we might have ended up with unprecedented levels of hostility. 8-( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
