PPC is tracking Factory only according to coolo.

Its mostly due to limited buildpower and limited manpower I think,
but I let coolo answer that.

(With the demise of the PPC Apples it is losing importance quite fast.)

Yes, but SLES is also available for POWER systems and therefore as
long as Novell is targeting those, PPC will need to be supported.
Also, keep in mind that there are other companies that put out PPC
systems. There are probably more POWER based systems in use than x86
IF you count car computers and other markets that IBM has targeted
with it.

SLES and openSUSE are different products and can of course get different
attention levels regarding PowerPC.

I have forwarded your mail to the opensuse project and product managers
for a more official statement than mine.

And its probably more ARM systems though out there. ;)

Could you clarify the phrase "limited build power" please? Is this HD
room or processor usage limitations?
