[ydl-gen] Response of Fixstars to end of ps3 otheros

It appears that the otheros option for the PS3 is coming to an end,  
though it will be allowed on older machines with future firmware  
updates.  I am guessing that the ps3 linux is just about dead anyway -  
the activity on various forums has dropped to a whisper.  However,  
there were products for the scientific community using multiple ps3s;  
will these be discontinued?

It is too bad that this unique architecture has no inexpensive  
platform for amateur experimentation.  In this weak economy, I  
wouldn't be surprised if the Cell is discontinued eventually. It  
doesn't seem to be able to compete (in the market, not technical  
brilliance) with boring offerings from intel and amd.

I would welcome comments from PS3 users and Fixstars people on these  
latest developments. Thanks.

Cheers,

Warren Nagourney
