how many users of FreeBSD 12 do we have on powerpc?

So I want to get an idea if we can start trying to move FreeBSD/powerpc*
users from 12.X to 13.0 once 13.0 is released.

The problem is that we have limitations on:

 - hardware resources w/rt building ports on 3 branches

 - human resources trying to support 3 branches

The powerpc ports team (the entire handful of us) is talking about
dropping ports building for 12-STABLE in favor of starting to build
14-CURRENT.

How many people will this affect if we do so?

fwiw, I personally believe 13.0 will be a complete superset except for:

 - ports that fail due to duplicate_symbol

and all of those are problems shared with even amd64.

(Also, I personally believe that it is fair to say "we do not really
support powerpc* on 10.X or 11.Y.  Please upgrade.")

How many people will these changes effect?  It's time to speak up ...
