Please do not remove it > from OE. I would highlight that Yocto Project and OE get very little support for anything PowerPC related and that upstream gcc have already removed parts of the SPE support. We will likely end up having to follow what gcc does, we have a hack in place now but it won't last another gcc major version upgrade. So if you or your customers care about SPE or PowerPC in general, we really need to see more support at the Yocto Project advisory board to continue to keep it as a first class citizen.
