I am more concerned with the embedded systems still being produced, and the nice IBM servers. Some people think ppc64 is a useful option, but most of us are perfectly happy with powerpc with a 64bit kernel. Not that ppc64 appears to be getting to be a release architecture any time soon. I am not a DD, or a DM, but I have certainly helped fix problems for powerpc, including in language runtimes for languages I don't use. Unfortunately it seems the upstream for most things don't care much for anything other than x86 and arm these days which makes it harder for other architectures to stay working. -- Len Sorensen
