Your example is IMO quite twisted. m68k was kicked from the official release because there was not enough manpower to maintain it. That's a quite different situation when someone tries to decide for the rest of the community what is worth supporting or not. Thomas P.S: By the way, there's still an ongoing m68k porting effort.
