Agreed, it is long time since I got any indications that people
actually use these old machines.
The sparc32 machines I have, have not been powered up for several years
now, and they were only used to test new kernels on anyway.

I sent out a small patch series to do more or less what you suggested
maybe one year ago. Back then the resistance was only from nostalgic
people (like myself) and no real users.

If you or anyone moves forward removing the non-leon sparc32 support
then starting new would be the best approach, I do not think it makes
sense to dig up my old patch set.
