I do know that for Java stuff, I certainly wouldn't mind if the Java
team marked for ppc/ppc64. The only thing that I'd need to know is that
it was tested with the IBM JVM since there certainly are differences
between that and the Sun one most people use on x86/amd64 and we've seen
issues in the past.
