What's your opinion?

That is of course an option, though it does require maintaining two
separate repositories with separate installation instructions as a result.
In a normal business environment the time required to maintain the
separate MIPS/POWER repositories and documentation would be factored in;
in the FOSS world maybe all I need is a sponsor who will keep all of that
up to date?

Sounds good to me. Another option would be for
Tim to make them
available on the main site.

I'm not opposed to this idea, but I'd need some additional funding
for the new architecture-specific builders. In particular for MIPS
there is a 1.2GHz new board that runs Debian and would be a good
candidate.
Any volunteers?
