Yes and No and No

The problem is that the port work was done on a dead hardware platform.
If you read some docs or look on the project page you will see that
all port work was done with a Pegasos II Open Desktop Workstation with
the Freescale PowerPC G4 processor.

That platform is as dead as dead gets. That is in spite of the fact
that it was a rock solid platform and never failed.

There are none available anywhere and now the only way to
proceed is to port to another platform.

That is my version of events.
