Looking at who's participating in OpenPOWER, I think it's mostly
servers now.  (There are still low-end PowerPC chips going into
embedded systems, but I don't believe Debian has ever supported them.
We require Open Firmware.)  It looks like a lot of those are custom-
made for large HPC and cloud customers, but Tyan has some that are
generally available, like this:

There are some PowerPC systems available for remote use by developers:

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
