Not wearing my Collabora, Freedesktop, Ubuntu, or Debian hats here, but
I've given some thought in the past (and more, as I've seen this
discussion rage on) to doing a "baseline 686" (or even 586, but gcc's
586 targets aren't as well-tested these days as they used to be) MeeGo
port just to help get more community developers on board and the like.

Yes, I understand the arguments of others that it will lack certainly
whizz-bangery, and be less optimal on my Atom-based netbook, and I don't
much care.  I can still run it, and I can develop for it, and I can run
the optimized version, should that tickle my fancy.

I'd need to scare up some resources (perhaps with work, perhaps within
the community at large) to make it happen, but from the rampant
me-too-ing going on here, it looks like it would be a project that would
actually see some use, even by people I work with (hi Robin).

Just so people who don't know who I am realize I'm not jumping into a
thread to blow smoke up various backsides, I did porting to several
architectures in Debian for years, I bootstrapped Ubuntu's LPIA (y'know,
before Atom had a name) and ARM ports when I worked at Canonical, and
this sort of work is more or less in my blood.  And hey, if it would
stop my INBOX from being flooded by list mail, I'm all for it.

(Seriously, though, can I wake up to this thread not having expanded by
another 200 mails?  My list-reading OCD is going to kill my weekend)
