Such work should indeed be funded by really interested parties, i.e.
hardware vendors and their ecosystem partners. I'm not saying
volunteers is out of the game, but look at mips(eb), we have retired
the architecture entirely because we are not able to find enough
investment on hardware and manpower to maintain it well, even if
hardware is still easy to purchase, toolchain/kernel support is
current.

It could be a better idea to get more interested people to fund such
work, but I don't see enough motivation to spend Debian money for a
port that nobody else have interest in supporting its toolchain.

Aron
