We do not want to do the work, as the benefit ratio is bordering zero. |
34 |
IA64 is dead hardware. PPC is dead (ppc != ppc64). SPARC, well, I guess |
35 |
Fujitsu is trying, maybe they should provide a modern dev machine :D |
36 |
|
37 |
Lets have the time of those just keeping it alive by semi-automated |
38 |
scripted STABLEREQ fulfilling spend that time on alive hardware |
39 |
instead. |

|
41 |
Meanwhile I have various stuff sticking around due to lack of handling |
42 |
keyword requests, including stuff that really needs cleaning up to |
43 |
finish things being really fixed. |
44 |
I actually see one person who seems to care about IA64 a but, but looks |
45 |
like no-one is actioning arch testing anymore. |
