I think for simplicity that we should stick to the hardware: e.g.,
Sparc, PA-RISC, MIPS, and S/390. (yes, Sparc is 64-bit).

Also, we should skip these if you can't find evidence of production PostgreSQL
servers on them.   Unless you can and your only question is are they 64-bit?
We are talking about "official" or at least "tested" support.

We don't need to make this clear to the press, no.
