Multiple people want it to stay. None of the people that replied have any real use of the sun4m port, they only wanted it to stay because they had some machines or such. In other words - people will be sad if we sunset sun4m, but it will not hurt anyone as there are no users left. I will include the above summary when I post v2 of the patch to sunset sun4m and sun4d. Then we will see what we conclude in the end. Right now in am in demolition mode as I have a new house that requires a total refactoring. So linux stuff is lower on the priority list so v2 will wait until I have time to do any necessary follow-up. Sam
