It seems a bit harsh, or possibly wishful thinking on Intel's part, to
describe most of these as "ancient and obsolete". MIPS certainly still
has users in OE, and I'm fairly sure that powerpc and microblaze do too
given that patches have been applied for them relatively recently.
There might be an argument for removing architectures like sh and s390
that had only marginal levels of support in oe-core to begin with but
it's not totally obvious to me that it buys much. The only one from
this list that looks genuinely ancient and obsolete is SPARC.
Can you expand on the "complications" that will be alleviated by
removing these?
