Release architectures for Stretch will be as follows: * amd64 * arm64 * armel * armhf * i386 * mips * mips64el * mipsel * ppc64el * s390x The only change from Jessie is the removal of powerpc as a release architecture. We discussed this at length, and eventually took the view that the least disservice to users of that port is to provide reasonable notice of its discontinuation. We recognise and acknowledge that discontinuing any port is unavoidably disruptive. The question of whether powerpc remains an architecture in the main archive or moves to ports is one for FTP masters, not the release team.
