As far as I know nothing has happened for precisely the same reason that
sparc32 had to be dropped - there isn't anyone to work on the kernel.
Without that then a separate port isn't going to get too far, but if
there was some one / some people who were willing to work on it, there
wouldn't need to be a separate port...
