Why the hell should we go on #debian on OPN when you so much as admitted that the ops on it have some kind of power trip: devoicing instead of rebutting when they have an issue with what's said? If I help somebody, I really don't want to have to stay politically correct: getting the problem solve

If it's so important, why is it orphaned? I'm thinking that if the SPARC folx can't be bothered to maintain their bootloader, perhaps the port's utilization of resources needs to be called into question... What's the point in Debian proper showing more support for SPARC than the SPARC community
