I would like to support linux/m68k, but on the Mac 68K platform the NetBSD
folks are more numerous.  Unless linux outnumbers NetBSD on some 68k
platforms other than Mac (and I think Amiga) I don't think you should break
a (mostly) working port in order to support a less widely used one.

Just my $0.02.
