[llvm-dev] [RFC] Removing PowerPC/Darwin Support?

[James Y Knight via llvm-dev]

The only part I'd like to see *NOT* removed is the darwin PPC asm format.
Not because I care about ppc/darwin, but because that format is like 1000x
easier to read -- especially for those of us who aren't PPC experts -- than
the insane standard PPC assembly format. :)
