That summary is an overstatement of what's happening. The exclusion means that those archs will not be included in the official release, or rather that problems with them will not be allowed to hold up the release process for other architectures. It does not mean that those architectures will be dropped completely from Debian. What will happen in the long term remains to be seen. There is a very simple solution though: more active involvement from people who care in those ports [1], especially in resolving kernel and porting issues and maintenance of architecture specific software (like bootloaders). Cheers, FJP [1] Although that is unlikely to solve the issues for m68k as the basic problem there is speed of the build daemons.
