I frankly think that ARM and MIPS should be just put back into the
main tree as first-order targets.
If they are important and maintained, I don't see any other reasonable
course of action.
The IA64s, the HPPAs, and the M68Ks will always be around to keep
the ports infrastructure tested properly :-)
