But I meant adding
something in the Documentation/powerpc/ directory and maybe
feature-removal-schedule.txt.  Basically a written down thing in the
kernel source to refer people to.

How about this time next year -- special event at
the OLS PowerPC BOF :-)

Heh, sounds good to me.

Of course, getting stuff done in a year.... ;)

Well the arch/ppc tree is basically frozen already, all Freescale
stuff got moved over already as far as I can see, and 4xx has
started moving.  I think a year is enough, since the tree is
frozen anyway, people can resurrect stuff from older releases
if need be, no problem with deleting it.  In fact, why not do
so this year :-)  [Yeah that was a joke].

Actually, I wouldn't have a problem with getting rid of arch/ppc right
now.  It won't really be lost, just git checkout your favorite tag that
still has it.  It'll get rid of code people shouldn't be worrying about
anymore anyway.

I realize, I'm probably the only one with this opinion so you don't have
to tell me all the reasons I'm wrong. :)
