I also want to make the point that it is absolutely unreasonable for any user to complain about a distribution dropping a platform that has no active kernel maintainer. Maintaining a distribution in any is absolutely and indisputably IMPOSSIBLE if there is no active kernel maintainer for that platform. So folks who want distributions on sparc32 should start at the ROOT of the problem, the lack of active kernel maintainer, instead of the giving the distribution folks a hard time. Their hands are tied until the sparc32 kernel maintainership issue changes. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
