Dropping platforms will lose them developers. Developers who also work on the main platforms, or atleast whose work crosses over.

You know what else loses developers? Shutting down the project.
Sounds like people should donate then yes? Shut down a niche arch and the developer will leave and not contribute anything, even to x86_64, just the same as the project going broke.
What proportion of the openbsd development team is contributing because they want to work on some ancient k-car chassis.
