Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt says: What: The arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc directories When: Jun 2008 Why: The arch/powerpc tree is the merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64 platforms. Currently there are efforts underway to port the remaining arch/ppc platforms to the merged tree. New submissions to the arch/ppc tree have been frozen with the 2.6.22 kernel release and that tree will remain in bug-fix only mode until its scheduled removal. Platforms that are not ported by June 2008 will be removed due to the lack of an interested maintainer. Who: linuxppc-dev@...abs.org > Regards. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
