[Blueprint ppc-iso] Dropping the PowerPC ISO to save time and efforts

[Lars Noodén]

Blueprint changed by Lars Noodén:

Whiteboard changed:
  [joern-schoenyan] Dropping just for 14.04 means, that PPC users don't have any options for the time between EoL Saucy and the release of 14.10, besides using a pre-Alpha release. In my opinion, there are 3 ways:
  * dropping PPC at all
  * 14.04 as the last release
  * don't drop
  Anything else would be inconsistent.
  
  [amjjawad] it is indeed a hard decision but IMHO, a decision about this
  must be made :)
  
  [Noskcaj] Maybe if we can get 14.04 in a high enough quality, we could
  drop the 6 monthly PPC releases.
  
- [larsnooden]  Unless there is a change inthe market, the PPC hardware
- will eventually go away.  We should definitely do a 14.04 LTS for it,
- but then after that see if that is enough.  The time to consider
- dropping it would be *after* the LTS.  +1 to noskcaj's and joern's
- comments.  We have testers and users for PPC.

+ [larsnooden]  Let me ammend that.  The old Macintosh PPC hardware will go away through attrition.  However, IBM is investing $1  billion into Linux on its Power architecture.
  
  [gilir] let's keep PPC at least for this LTS, let's discuss this after
  the LTS. It's not so bad currently.
