'old' architectures do not hinder development - they are separate, and they have to update their stuff. (and i think the m68k port is used by many other people and not CS archeologists.) Old drivers are not a true problem either - if they dont compile that's the problem of the maintainer. Occasionally old drivers get zapped (mainly when there is a new replacement driver).
