We've discussed this with the Power team within IBM and have agreement that we should drop Power Linux BE for Node version 8 as customers will be using Power Linux LE when using Node.js going forward.

This LGTM but just thinking... do we need a proper deprecation cycle for dropping support for a platform? Does that even make sense?

@jasnell in general I think the more warning we can give people the better. This may be a bit of a special situation where Power Linux essentially switched the primary endianess and there were both options for a transition period. I suggest we land this but then discuss in the LTS team what we want the standard process to be. We should probably also do the same in terms of OS versions. |
