IMHO it keeps things honest.  fwiw, if you fix a port on sparc64 it
will usually fix it on powerpc64 and vice versa (~80% correlation).

But powerpc64 has a (hardware) future and sparc64 doesn't.  I run both
at home, but not the powerpc64 continuously.  (Actually first typed
"4U" it as "$U".  Same idea.)

So, I'm willing to help keep it going (and even loan a machine to the
effort), but I am overcommitted in other areas already.
