I test ppc64 regularly. In fact -mm is probably the best place to go to
get a working ppc64 tree at present.

But I do not view non-ia32 support as being a 2.6.0 requirement. I'd be OK
with 2.6.0 working _only_ on ia32. Other architectures will catch up when
they can. The only core requirement is that 2.6.0 not contain gross
x86isms which make other ports impossible.

That's a rather lame position, and sure, one would wish otherwise. Feel
free to disagree ;)
