I was under the impression that there were other SPARC based embedded
chips around.  Is it worth contacting the developers of the Leon about
this?  IIRC one of their selling points was a full, free OS and tool
chain.  I suspect if Debian stops supporting sparc32 then the amount of
work done on keeping it viable will drop andthe bit rot will set in.
Thus I can see some advantage to them commiting some time to keeping it
live.
