- Plans to retire support for big-endian 32-bit PowerPC and 64-bit POWER platforms by July 2026.
- Lack of progress and interest from users, with persistent issues like non-working GPUs and outdated web browsers.
- No dedicated maintainer, limited build infrastructure, and insufficient resources to continue support.
- Retirement may be reconsidered if someone commits to maintaining and improving the platforms.
