Yeah, no interest in ia64, sorry. I'd like it to just go.

This is probably unavoidable given that our devbox and stage builder is unstable
now regularly dies (and that there is also no qemu support).

I'm all for keeping what we can, but we need
* people to do the work
* hardware to test

If *both* is missing it's kinda hopeless.

I will continue to keep ia64 in shape until its final removal from Gentoo.

Also, your earlier point about exp arches is fantastic. It should be a transition state only, either to dev or to removal.
