My view is that while they're being actively supported, there's no reason to remove them. Granted their mostly SpanKY's babies, but so what? If you're not using those arches, you don't need to get involved. Incidentally you only have to lurk in #gentoo-embedded to see there are users trying Gentoo on all sorts of bizarre boxes; it's something that is much less painful and much more flexible with Gentoo than with any other distribution. I don't like the idea that only stuff used by large groups should be in the tree. I think the criteria should hinge primarily on whether stuff has an active Gentoo maintainer. --=20 Kevin F.
