While I understand the decision to stop supporting sparc32, it saddens me. I use Aurora on sparc32 systems only, preferring to run Gentoo on my sparc64 systems. (I did once get Gentoo running on a SparcStation 10. The experience was interesting but painful and I do not look forward to repeating it.)

I have plenty of sun4m systems to test things on, but other than that I have little to offer; I'm not a kernel programmer. However, I do know a bit about the hardware and have access to some non-public resources at Sun through my employer.

So yeah, I would like to keep sparc32 support in Aurora, but I will understand if it's taken out.
