How many times has that happened recently?  If it's fairly infrequent,
then just do the split when you're doing the arch/powerpc cleanup.  I'm
still not convinced that doing a wholesale split again is worth the
effort.

But then again, I'm not opposed either.  Particularly if someone else
is doing the work :).  It simply doesn't make tons of sense to my
feeble little brain.  Seems like that time could be spent better
elsewhere.
