Sad, but a day everyone knew would come. I totally understand the lack of support for a dead architecture. It's not like you can just keep throwing software at these machines and run them fine anyway.
I have a 2003-04 era Powerbook with Ubuntu on it. It runs 10.04 just fine, but any newer and it's pretty damn slow. Basically the only thing I can do with it now is text based stuff, and not much of it. Some Python, bash C++ etc. Can't even really browse the web, because the newer versions of any web browser won't run/compile.
Since I can do all of those same things on my current laptop just fine there's no motivation to use the PPC mac other than nostalgia. Imagine how the folks feel trying to support it now?
