No, not an alternative. Sparc v7 users will likely see woody as their
last usable Debian release. I want to move the compiler to default to
sparcv8 instructions.
Don't all bitch at once though :) Woody will be the stable release for
atleast 1.5 years.
I've thought about doing v9 optimized stuff again (like I did before),
but that's way too much overhead in the package system. Not to mention
that it causes all kinds of conflicts when upgrading.
