Ok, I am very relieved to hear that. I have invested a lot of work and
effort into Debian's SuperH port and I therefore hope we can still
keep it for a while.

FWIW, I will send out free ST-40 SuperH development boxes to anyone
who is is willing to work on the SH kernel :-).

I'll find the proper wiki to post this information. I need to figure
out what I need to get an account for the kernel.org wiki.
