Yes, the company paying my salary, for example :-). But then if failure to build
allmodconfig/allyesconfig is a criteria, arm would be a prime target as well ...

Might be a discussion point for the kernel summit, though: What are criteria
for an architecture to be accepted, and for it to remain in the kernel ?
Availability of a pre-built tool set (score drops out)? defconfig build
failure (unicore32 be gone) ? Something else ?
