Time to fast-forward by 7 years? ;-)

commit e6b6e3ffb9ee8926f9f2f7dc9147df73e27d5828
Author: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org>

    [POWERPC] Remove APUS support from arch/ppc

    Current status of APUS:
    - arch/powerpc/: removed in 2.6.23
    - arch/ppc/: marked BROKEN since 2 years

    This therefore removes the remaining parts of APUS support from
    arch/ppc, include/asm-ppc, arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
