Why not if they are properly written and maintained. Historically we've
supported an entire architecture that had one machine ever built. We
supported a strange subclass of x86 machines for many years because James
Bottomley cared enough to do the work. We still support M68K, PA-RISC and
other stuff as well as plenty of hardware which probably has few users -
providing it doesn't cause maintenance problems.
