Probably true, but FWIW I'm running Squeeze (from Lenny) on an old-
world Mac rev2 beige G3 desktop 416MiB 40GB, booting with BootX.  I'm 
not sure if it /can/ boot with yaboot, but in any case I've avoided 
Open Firmware and its bugs.  Upgrading kernels is a chore, though.

Note that Fedora has now made PPC a "Secondary Architecture", though I 
don't know if there is actually anything happening with it.  I picked 
Debian before that for my old Mac because Debian was said to work on 
old-world Macs.  I expect that I'll be able to use Squeeze for several 
years, even if it's the last release that works.
