But it makes a kind of sense, right? There's long been straightforward upgrade paths for 486 users, making the 486 effectively totally obsolete and killing most of the demand for continued support. Whereas 68k machines have effectively become trapped in time, and their users are still going to work to keep support going.

NetBSD still support 486 and even 386 i think. Out of tre box. Netbsd supports even vax 780 from 1979 (first modern 32bit architecture) :)
