Well, we are at best a year away from the lenny release, assuredly
having the sparc32 kernel dropped for a couple kernel releases now is
not a decision of such tremendous impact as an official dropping of the
sparc32 support for lenny would be.
If later on the sparc32 kernels are fixed, it will be time enough to
reactivate it.
