As I mentioned earlier, I do ia64. I expect other people to work on
other patforms. I'm not pulling this wagon by myself. I have too
much ia64 specific work and cross-platform work on my plate to take
on more multi-platform work. There are enough i386 developers who
can help out with both i386 specific and MI code. The same holds
(to lesser extend) for sparc64. It should be clear by now that we
don't have a bucket of ia64 developers who can take over the care
for ia64 while I'm away from home...
