For the record, I don't think that we (as mainline GCC developers)
should worry about these kinds of platforms, and I think Stan's
comments show a very mature mode of thinking towards 68K Macs.  There
is a large burden in dragging around old ports, trying to make sure
Makefiles work there, and so forth.  If someone else wants to keep GCC
working on a Dec-10, or a PDP-11, or an SV3 system, or whatever that's
just great -- but I don't think we should worry about those systems
when maintaining GCC.

My two cents,
