Subject: [gentoo-dev] Restructuring the ppc/ppc64 profiles to be better multilib

Hi everyone,

This is a ppc/ppc64 issues, but I'm sending this to gentoo-dev@ because 
it seems to me that those herds are pretty scattered right:

1) The issue came up about restructuring the arch/powerpc profiles. 
There we have some ancient stuff like ppc64/32ul.  I don't know why 
that's needed and it doesn't make much sense wrt the new direction 
multilib is going.  I'd like to clean up those profiles.  Any objections 
to removing ppc64/32ul, coalescing ppc64/64ul into just ppc64 and making 
whatever other tweaks are needed?

2) Can we try to get the ppc/ppc64 herds communicating more.  I don't 
believe every team needs a lead but at least have a point of reference 
so we can communicate.
