ppc didn't really have enough momentum until the end of the cycle anyways. my concern is that core isn't really supporting radeon chips, which is kind of a big issue. i mean that's have of the machines out there. to be honest, i'm not sure we're going to do much for ppc in the future anyways. i have no clue what qt support is like for ppc, either. if it's not great, with much regret, i would say it might be useful to let future ppc support go altogether.
