sparc? I've heard from a few people that it doesn't run reliably.

sparc64 seems fine however. I run it without a problem.

sgi was miod's baby. Now that he's moved on it may not have long to live.

Miod's lack of further involvement is related to him joining TrustInSoft, or is there something else happening?

I don't personally know him so I really can't authoritatively about what's on his mind. He posted this[0] in Nov. 2015. From my reading of it it sounds like he no longer sees his porting work as fruitful.
