Any work on what? I doubt that you can seriously mean m68k with that.

Maybe you ask on some other lists than the m68k lists, like someone else did

Well, "dropping" a previously unreleased arch is something different than
really dropping a multiple released arch. I think "not releasing yet" would
be the appropriate term for s390 at least.
