We may do that or something similar, but it's not guaranteed.

I was on the mklinux mailing list for a while because I found the idea
of PowerMac Linux interesting.  If we do port Executor to
PowerPC-based machines (which is a separate issue from supporting
PowerMac binaries, BTW) I think it's safe to say we'd prefer to do the
first port on a Linux-based system.
