I think a lot of >people would like to have Sparc CD images if possible. The build appears to have worked, FWIW. I've checked that the jigdo files are valid by rebuilding images from them, and I'm uploading the jigdo bits (slowly) now to cdimage. I wasn't especially expecting an immediate response last night, but it does get really annoying when there are multiple mails every day now, pestering for the new r2 images, and the toolchain needed to build them has just been allowed to rot by the architecture maintainers.
