If there are no such > people, is it that important? those ancient hardwares are not important to Debian, we have ceased to support them years ago. some people OTOH support them on Debian Ports and some of these people are very vocal about the need of supporting architectures there. In my opinion they should only be heard if they also offer to do the work needed to keep those ancient architectures alive. (and so far I've not even read an offer to help *testing* such code there and also no offer to help developing such code...) blocking progress on main Debian architectures because of some unsupported ancient hardwares seems more problematic to me than not supporting those ancient plattform. -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ It's not about saving the climate or the planet, it's about saving us, the children and grandchildren.
