in theory it should be easier to port applications to ppc64el, especially
software that is not maintained by Debian (like various commercial or not
packaged apps and libraries), because it makes a little bit more similar to
x86 and amd64. Power8 hardware isn't terribly expensive (and there are

In case it isn't clear, the number of users of the architecture is not part

for release architectures, which detracts from other work that needs to be
