This page talks about officially supported ports. Debian Ports is an
unofficial spin maintained by a number of Debian Developers and external
developers that are volunteering to maintain these ports.

You could say this about a lot of hardware, can't you?

There is the popcon statistics. However, that is opt-on and the numbers are
not really trustworthy. We are getting feedback from time to time from people
using it.
Is there any problem with the ia64 port at the moment that would justify removal?
