My view is that while they're being actively supported, there's no
reason to remove them.  Granted their mostly SpanKY's babies, but so
what?  If you're not using those arches, you don't need to get
involved.  Incidentally you only have to lurk in #gentoo-embedded to
see there are users trying Gentoo on all sorts of bizarre boxes; it's
something that is much less painful and much more flexible with Gentoo
than with any other distribution.

I don't like the idea that only stuff used by large groups should be in
the tree.  I think the criteria should hinge primarily on whether stuff
has an active Gentoo maintainer.
