I don't think we should aim for including Nubus support, either. Unless,
of course, we find a couple more volunteers to support the whole
Nubus-Pmac kernel stuff (last time I checked, the kernel port had stalled,
pretty much).

That's ignoring all the sticky issues like having to use third-party
bootstraps (the various MkLinux booters, no idea on the redistribution
license there) and having to build an installer kernel (kernel with
ramdisk piggybacked to it) each time you want to test some new b-f hack.
