So, are you proposing we drop support for all the PowerPC processors
that don't conform to the recently-published V2.03 ISA? You don't
want 6xx, 7xx, 7xxx, 52xx, etc. supported any more? :) (joke :)
Seriously, the v2.03 ISA covers only IBM's latest POWER processors
(i.e. not POWER3, POWER4, or even POWER5), and Book E processors. We
support a lot more than that.
Paul.
