Hi,

Well, count me in for sparc64 in general, too. I expect, too, that's
where we're heading to anyway, and I don't expect too many
differences. I though fear that we're not yet there:

Yesterday I tried to setup a sparc64 chroot on a second disc in one of
my Sparcs, but the currently documented way[1] to do so failed[2] due
to outdated packages. On a first glance it looks like missing BinNMUs
for the Perl 5.14 to Perl 5.18 transition.

OTOH such issues were present in the past[3] of sparc64, too, back
then with the transition from Perl 5.10 to Perl 5.12.
