I strongly disagree, but I know I'm in a minority here...
Once upon a time, this list was actually used for its purpose as
declared on
http://lists.debian.org/ports.html
i.e. to discuss technical issues of the Debian powerpc port. Now this
has disappeared almost completely. I can hardly remember the last time a
query from another part of the Debian project about the status of a
certain aspect of the powerpc port was actually answered on this list,
most likely because a large portion if not most of the list traffic is
OT these days, and I think this is very bad. YMMV.
