Yeah, not having a clear lead is a problem.  No one wants to just make a 
big decision on behalf of the team without making sure everyone is on 
board.  Pacho, do you have access to timberdoodle? If so, join both 
teams and just take the initiative and let any other "claimants" step 
forward now.  BTW, taking the lead doesn't mean doing all the work 
yourself.  I want to see ppc/ppc64 in good shape.  I'll be happy to 
write scripts to do the demoting to ~ etc etc.
