Hi,
I would like to propose that the c4x port be obsoleted for 4.0.
c4x-*
tic4x-*
The primary reason is that the port doesn't build.
I'm unpersuaded by the arguments later in the thread that we should keep
this port for its pedagogical value as a BITS_PER_UNIT != 8 port. I
think the criteria should be the same as any other port.
However, I do think that it's late to be making this decision, and I
can't see any harm in delaying obsoletion until 4.0.1. That will give
potential maintainers a fair chance to step forward.
