While we are at it, can we also remove the 601 ? This one is also full of workarounds and diverges a bit from other 6xx.
I'm unable to find its end of life date, but it was on the market in 1994, so I guess it must be outdated by more than 10-15 yr old now ?
There probably are still some people running Linux on 601 powermacs.
It could be marked as "BROKEN" for a year to find out for sure ;-)
Apparently there were only two or three models that are old enough to have a 601 and new enough to run Linux with PCI and OF: 7200/8200 and 7500. These were sold for less than 18 months around 1996, though one can still find them on eBay.
