I really wonder how much of a concern that is. Although this list is

continued supporting 68k through three semi-major revisions (7.0, 7.5,
8.0) after PPC came out so I'd not worry too much about current OSes.
I'd personally worry more about applications.


Quite. I expect there won't be much agressive optimisation for Altivec
and things like that any more

Aggressive optimization, no, but Apple's also got a new CPU agnostic vector co-processor API; see the Universal Build document. Altivec isn't completely cut off.
