Reported by LWN:

As of tonight, there is no more SPARC in testing. The main reasons were lack of porter commitments, problems with the toolchain and continued stability issues with our machines.

The fate of SPARC in unstable has not been decided yet. It might get removed unless people commit to working on it. Discussion about this should take place on #745938.

    Somebody posted this same commentary on the original announcement page but, however, they didn't mention any real implications.

    Out of morbid curiosity, unless you're an engineer building circuits that have to integrate with your existing SPARC hardware, why would you even care about this?
