Re: Architecture baseline for Forky

If I understand correctly, the rationale for not supporting power8 is this:

I read that as meaning that power9 is supported by the current
toolchain, while power8 is not. Please correct me if I am wrong.

So this isn't about "dropping" support for power8, it's about
"restoring" it. As usual, Debian is a doocracy: we can do that if
somebody commits to do that.
