Hm. So, distinguished m68k and coldfire userspace ports? The really “nice” thing that went through peoples’ minds was “let’s use those fast CF to build binaries, as our Atari/Amiga/Mac68k machines can’t keep up”. But then, people question that anyway. Heck, people question anything that’s not Linux/amd64, these days (see Poettering). The decision is not mine to make. (In fact. I’m still more involved in Debian/m68k than I wanted, with less support than I asked for. But please don’t follow up to this parenthesised comment, it’s moot.) bye, //mirabilos -- 13:22⎜«neurodamage» mira, what's up man?
