That's what I wrote in my initial mail, too, but the proposal above
does not include the same information as the old text. In the old
text 3.0 is missing. So powerpc wasn't a release architecture for
3.0 ?

And: if you change to above proposal, and powerpc is dropped for 7.0,
you have to change the text again (ok, it's probably most unlikely that
powerpc gets dropped).
