as Joel said, there are more targets than just those two.  i don't know that
debating them individually makes much sense.  having an agreed upon policy
and then seeing which arches it applies to is much easier.  if someone comes
out of the woodwork for a specific target and steps up to support it, then
maybe it can be postponed, but they'd be listed as a maintainer, and have to
respond to issues for it.

cr16 was dropped for the gcc-13 release.
crx was dropped for the gcc-4.7 release.
d30v was dropped for the gcc-4.0 release.
m68hc11 was dropped for the gcc-4.7 release.
mep was dropped for the gcc-7 release.
spu was dropped for the gcc-10 release.
xc16x has never been merged into gcc afaict.
