Existing, non-broken 11.x and 12.x releases will not be removed. We
know packages on the 12.1 ISO image are incorrect; it's unclear if
that's the case on earlier releases too. There's no final decision on
how this will be handled, yet. I expect upcoming 11.x and 12.x
releases to include sparc64, and the ISO images will either be fixed
to include sparc64 packages, or will not include packages.

13.0 will not support sparc64 (Tier 4).
