That's a comment that really shouldn't be dignified with an answer any more thorough than "Please see http://www.debian.org/"; :> Yes, we all pretty much know that nothing spectacularly bad will happen if sparc32 is relegated to the archive, but we're a project of hobbyists and volunteers who generally tend to take care of our tools, even if they become old and scruffy and you can't make a profit out of them. It's perfectly natural for people to want to keep sparc32. To paraphrase Dr. McCoy, ever so (in)appropriately - we're engineers, not salespeople. -- 2.
