To be honest: I made this experience already in multiple projects. IBM
employees have been quite unfriendly towards PPC targets which were not POWER8
or newer. The answer was usually "Anything lower than POWER8 is no longer
supported." talking as if the project in question belongs to IBM. Quite
frustrating.
