Yep.  Get rid of the community unless it's doing something useful.  If
there's only one actual project involved, then I'd argue that the
community isn't useful.  (It's entirely possible that, like dtrace,
PPC becomes a community _after_ it delivers a project, so that it can
guide future development.)

I'd imagine that the existing "Appliances" and "OS/Net" communities
would be nearly ideal for endorsing the existing PPC project.

Indeed.  Knock yerself out.  It'd be nice, though, if those feeling
the urge to fork didn't also feel the need to report their misery back
here.  That's sort of annoying.
