Historically they have been the most important 32-bit platforms, along
with PReP.
The problem with making all platforms default to N is that if you take
the default values for all config options you end up with a config
that won't build. So we want at least one platform to default to Y,
and pmac has been as good a choice as any for that (and probably still
is).
I've got no issue w/grandfathering CHRP or PMAC as default Y. However
I DO NOT think we should default other platforms to 'Y' as that means
updating configs will pick up platforms they dont want.
