All in all it shows that ppc is an even deader end than I expected.
Lets make a clear cut and go x64 ASAP.
I am not against moving to x64 at all, in fact I support it completely, but with new ARM products coming soon that offer 64bit and 4 cores at over 1GHz in speed (like the Pine64 on Kickstarter at the moment), I can't help wondering if low priced but still quite powerful solutions wouldn't be better for our community, where many are concerned about price, as well as energy usage, performance and availability.
I will be getting the Pine64+ with 2GB RAM, when it is available and think that MorphOS would be a perfect match as an OS for that product.
The Pine64 is (like most ultra cheap arm gadgets) using an Allwinner SoC AFAIK. Undocumented and rather half ready cooked. Have fun writing drivers for it.
Plus, 2GB RAM is too little. When making the cut, do't do it for small steps (my powerbook has 1.5 GB already), but for a huge jump (like i7 with plenty RAM etc.) just to be on the safe side for the next 10 years or more.

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
