Just a fololow-up to my original question.

We still have a few brave souls running the kernels on sparc32 based boxes.
On top of this there are templig.org that looks like a one-man show to implment
sparc32 in VHDL. But very impressive!
Then there are qemu that today supports sun4m - if we drop sun4m we also drop
qemu support for sparc.

So in total there are still reasons to keep sun4m and sun4d around.

Thanks everyone for your responses!
