Agreed, we need to go through and figure out what all really needs to get moved over for other boards. I know 4xx has only one board supported in arch/powerpc and I dont believe the support is complete. > Maybe what we could do is designate a kernel release where we'll stop > taking new arch/ppc submissions?

We tend to only do bug fixes or deal with issues related to moving things between arch/ppc & arch/ powerpc. - k
