Well, I'll rise to the bait ...

Please keep in mind that compilation speed and technical problems of other
ports is exactly what brought you today's support architecture of build
dependencies, build-from-source systems like sbuild, autobuilders, just to
name a few. Hell, Debian on m68k Macs was there before Debian on Powermacs
and other PowerPC machines.

Package quality has improved a huge lot over the years, but there's still
a lot to be done. And the more architectures to shake out bugs on, the
better.

Thank you for your attention. We now return to your regular scheduled
programming.
