Correct. The platform SM 2.1 will be based on, Mozilla 2.0, dropped PPC
support.

If that is so how long after Seamonkey 2.1 is released will support
for 2.0 be dropped?

SM 2.0 is released off the Mozilla 1.9.1 branch which is where Firefox 3.5 was released from. Meanwhile there has been FF 3.6 (from Mozilla 1.9.2) and now FF 4.0 (from Mozilla 2.0). Since maintaining multiple branches in parallel is costly (think build and test machines, testers etc.), Mozilla 1.9.1 (and inevitably with it SM 2.0, since it depends on the platform for security fixes and the SeaMonkey project lacks the manpower to maintain it by themselves) will be discontinued rather sooner than later. I do not know how many more SM 2.0 releases there will be but probably very few. That makes releasing SM 2.1 ASAP all the more important, but of course that last part doesn't make much of a difference for PPC.
