I don't see an overwhelmingly great reason to merge it.  It might help
test people who do automated rebuilds, etc and aren't used to dealing
with powerpc and it's requirements.  Outside of that, I see it as
dual-maintenance.

But I'm not doing the maintenance, and it doesn't effect me too much.
I only ask that a decision is made and executed on soon so we can move
on.
