While planning the 2.0.2 release building, I was thinking about the future of the sparc port (linux). The download numbers are little, see e.g. sf: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2174. Further, it even seems that Sun doesn't thrust in it anymore but uses AMD64. Since sparc is currently maintained by the core team it mainly costs time which could be spent in other platforms. So I was thinking about dropping sparc releases for now. If necessary, it can be quickly reviewed.

Any comments?
