I hope that in the second sentence here, when you say 'PowerPC community', you are using that only as an abbreviation for 'PowerPC GNU/Linux community'. That is, if the patches turn out to break powerpc-aix, or powerpc-darwin, the release will be held until that is resolved. Otherwise I also object to putting such a change in so late in the process.
