Hi Patrick,
The only Apple PowerPC machines that can use the 64-bit image are the G5's
Plus the PS3.
(but I believe they could also use the standard SMP one).
We only have one flavour of the 64-bit kernel, and it's SMP.
Honestly, I don't think we can really drop any of the kernels. Any dual processor machine is going to use the SMP kernel (and there's a lot of dual processor G4's out there...), and any single processor machine needs the non-smp kernel, right?
No, single processor machines should be able to use the SMP kernel.
So, wouldn't dropping any of them mean dropping support one of following: single processor machines, SMP support, or 64-bit support.
The idea here is that we should be able to drop the 32-bit UP kernel without losing any machine support.
