Once it=E2=80=99s in a -current ISO, I=E2=80=99ll give it a shot!

I=E2=80=99ve been thinking about this; would it make sense to merge the list=
s for the PowerPC-architecture ports under port-powerpc like the MIPS ports h=
ave been merged under port-mips?

The system-specific ports still have separate distributions since all the sy=
stems boot differently and may require different tweaks as a result, of cour=
se. However, having one primary architecture list may help ensure there=E2=80=
=99s a critical mass of people who can look at and respond to anything someo=
ne brings up, even if it=E2=80=99s not directly related to the system they=E2=
=80=99re using.
