True of false?

IMO:  true.

Not that I'd object to merging patches which support such
hardware.  But getting the package to run on such small
systems -- probably, lower end microcontrollers -- is no
walk in the park.  And keeping the source base so it runs
there would not be straightforward.

I agree that fixing all the portability issues isn't easy and isn't strictly necessary for any particular future release. I'd just like to see us progress in that direction when making fixes for data types. If you need to fix a printf for some other reason, use the correct format string or macro for the data type in use. It doesn't take any extra time and makes full portability much easier.
