Ok, how about Tiers?
Tier 1: x86, x86_64, x86_gcc2 -- Can bootstrap, in Buildbot.
Tier 2: ppc, arm -- Not yet bootstraped, code in tree.
Development should be somewhat active with potentially useful
code someday.
Tier 3: Everything else -- not in tree, not bootstrapped.
(external forks welcome, we'll even link to them on the
website ports page)
I could see arm going from tier 2 to tier 2 pretty quickly once we get
it bootstraped. If Tier 2 architectures don't see progress after 1
year, they get bumped to Tier 3. If tier 2 projects get bootstraped,
they get bumped to tier 1.
Thoughts? Less of a jaring move and gives folks time to get their crap
together :-D
