Phasing out ppc64 BE?
Hi, after the 6.5 build breakage on ppc64be (which is not hard to fix, but...), the SUSE kernel team was discussing if we can disable ppc64 _big-endian_ completely. This would save a lot of "power" as we don't think anyone can run/runs Tumbleweed on these processors/machines. Any opinions? If not, we will disable kernel builds around the mid of Sep. Disabling of the rest will likely follow. thanks, -- js suse labs

Fine with me. The port is still maintained in Gentoo, Adélie Linux and Debian, so I think owners of the hardware can easily switch to alternative distributions. Adrian
