Which processors do you say no longer exist? It's true that 1750a,
clipper, convex, dsp16xx, elxsi, i860, romp, we32k have little or no sign
of active work lately and probably are bitrotten, but of which of these
processors are there no longer any in working order? (I think all other
CPUs have had at least the odd fix in the past few years, even if lacking
any listed maintainer or regular testing.)
(It is also the case that support can get added for processors that don't
yet exist but will do so in future.)
