Hi, I noticed that you have ceased to provide 32 Bit PowerPC ISOs. It's also clear that this was nearly unanimous since you went through with it, but I am very disappointed.
I understand your reasoning, that 32 Bit PowerPC machines are mostly very old Apple Macintosh machines, and that's true. I have three of them, along with other older x86-32 boxes. I often get these machines brought to me, and they are always running a fossilized version of Mac OS X, usually Leopard.

Firefox isn't even available for these machines anymore on their native OS. I love Fedora, and I always have, I left Ubuntu for it back when Fedora 9 was current and never looked back. To put a Debian base on these machines, to me, is a travesty, and Debian is all too focused on their experimental builds that use other kernels right now anyways. I am writing, obviously enough, in hope that this will make you reconsider support for 32 bit PowerPC machines. You don't need to offer support of course. All I ask for is a network installation CD and current packages.

Us PowerPC users are not dead yet, and those old Apple macs can still prove very very useful as a Linux box, especially as servers, as I know very well. Please don't abandon users like me who already feel abandoned by most distributions. I understand if you decide to reaffirm your position, but your user base for 32 bit PowerPC was significantly larger than
you know.

Thank you.
