Comment on NetBSD on the last G4 Mac mini and making the kernel power failure proofparent

I'm not sure that's an apt comparison. If you were saying that 32-bit PPC is dead, then the answer is probably yes at least in general computing, though there are still lots of 32-bit PowerPC parts in embedded systems. However, 64-bit PowerPC systems have substantially more in common with "big" POWER. The G5, which was clearly positioned as a member of the PowerPC family (PPC970) but descended from the POWER4, would be the classic example.
