[Let's assume that we can't find a powerpc porter in time for Stretch.] 1. Will `powperpc` automatically be downgraded to simple port ? Or is this also not automated and the port may simply be removed (eg. sparc) ? 2. Apart from loosing the automatic debian-installer stuff, what else are we going to loose in that scenario ? Thanks much for pointers ! -M
