A few months passed and we almost finished with a long tail.

To-be-deprecated profiles yet are:
  https://bugs.gentoo.org/673278
    prefix/linux-standalone/ppc64

+prefix@, what is our plan here? Can we drop at least empty
'deprecated' file to notify users?

    hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc32
    hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/32bit-userland
    hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/64bit-userland

+hardened@ (and +arm@, +mips@, +ppc@, +ppc64) ,
is it fine to redirect these to vanilla 17.0 profiles?
