A quick reminder that EFI extensively uses Pe for its loaders,
so there is a potential "modern" use for Pe + (insert arch here)

This isn't a volunteer to maintain it, but just pointing out
that ld.lld / llvm maintains Pe support for most architectures for
this reason.

There is some work around PPC64 + EFI, so it could "become a thing"
in the future.
