I'm kind of sad to see corgi at this point but it isn't really
surprising. The hardware is old/slow and likely not used by many
anymore, things have moved on and the systems ended up being heavily
kernel size footprint limited.

I'd just note that corgi (and shepherd/husky) are strongly related to
spitz/akita/borzoi, the difference is basically pxa25x vs pxa27x
processor and pin changes. We chose just to emulate one set in qemu but
the others would be relatively trivial.

tosa and poodle have much less in common with the other Zaurus devices.

I guess what I'm saying is that if spitz is remaining it might make
sense to have corgi with it.

Cheers,

Richard
