Intel sez they're cranking them in large volumes, and making record revenue

The algorithm I use to detect obsolete architectures is Google - if the only
references to an architecture are in GNU sources or in historical

then it's dead. If the company is selling chips, it's not dead yet
(although it
moight be stone cold in a moment :-) ).
