Actually, I wouldn't have a problem with getting rid of arch/ppc right
now.  It won't really be lost, just git checkout your favorite tag that
still has it.  It'll get rid of code people shouldn't be worrying about
anymore anyway.

I realize, I'm probably the only one with this opinion so you don't have
to tell me all the reasons I'm wrong. :)
