Comment (by kencu):

 Yes, it's tricky getting the balance.

 The truth is 99.99999999999% of MacPorts maintainers don't care about
 PowerPC and would be happiest if it was dropped completely due to all the
 noise it generates.

 PowerPC Rosetta on 10.6 or PowerPC on 10.6 is yet another order of
 magnitude away from relevant to everyone.

 So you have to be judicious -- nobody really cares if some port doesn't
 build on 10.6 as Rosetta, and nobody is going to fix it but you anyway
 most likely.

 The likely outcome from all these tickets is really MacPorts dropping
 PowerPC support completely and all these tickets being en-masse closed.
