Sure, we can remove Python on m68k. But whether it will still be useful
after that remains a different question. I would argue we should rather
totally drop the port then because Linux without Python doesn't really
work these days.

For what exact reason? NetBSD/m68k runs with 4 bytes alignment.
Why shouldn't this work for Linux?

And I have bootstrapped Debian/m68k using rebootstrap with 4 bytes alignment
without any problems. If you think there are problems with 4 bytes alignment,
I would like to see them reported.
