My view is that while they're being actively supported, there's no |
| 13 |
reason to remove them. Granted their mostly SpanKY's babies, but so |
| 14 |
what? If you're not using those arches, you don't need to get |
| 15 |
involved. Incidentally you only have to lurk in #gentoo-embedded to |
| 16 |
see there are users trying Gentoo on all sorts of bizarre boxes; it's |
| 17 |
something that is much less painful and much more flexible with Gentoo |
| 18 |
than with any other distribution. |

I don't like the idea that only stuff used by large groups should be in |
| 21 |
the tree. I think the criteria should hinge primarily on whether stuff |
| 22 |
has an active Gentoo maintainer. |
