Selfishly, that's why I listed it as June 2008 to begin with.  We've got
base 440 support in arch/powerpc now, but it needs more work.  And I
just started 405 this morning.

However, I definitely want some date present when arch/ppc will go away.
Otherwise it will languish on indefinitely, more so than it already has.
