no, but it is no longer supported, so we don't need to support it. it would be different if it had been downgraded to tier 3 rather than becoming entirely unsupported.

Admittedly, I don't see much difference between being demoted to T3 vs. unsupported, although it's another topic. I think we could retain 32-bit PPC support due to mass production of good quality Apple G4 hardware which is scattered around the world and is still useful as a backup boxen, NAS, etc. Another reason to keep it around: different endianness, char signness, 32-bitness force one to write well-typed, correct, sound code. And it's not affected by Y2038 problem, i.e. uses 64-bit time_t.

A request: for clarity, can reboot(8) explicitly say something to the effect of "reboot is equivalent to shutdown -r now"?
