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.

    There's a big difference between sparc and sparc64. This article seems to be talking about the old 32-bit SPARC architecture, but the summary doesn't clarify.
