Re: Release Architectures for Debian 9 'Stretch'

There are some architectures which have once been release architectures but are now 'only' available in sid. E.g. alpha (slink to lenny), hppa (woody to lenny) or m68k (hamm to etch). The only architecture I see which once was release but I am unable to find in sid is ia64.[0] In summary: PowerPC
