So a sports team produces something with analogous utility to a CPU? People buy sports gear or tickets and expect to run computations on them? What kind of workload can the Packers handle? I think for the project leader of something like a kernel, which needs to care about the details of a CPU, it's entirely appropriate to set an example and remind people that they aren't building for a hardware monoculture. With Linus I start to think of old writings he used to have about Alpha, or his prior employment at Transmeta (I know no details about it, would not be shocked if it was at least in part a PR move) ... If he's not willing to give some less common hardware a good sanity check, what example does that set for maintainers of various pieces? Similarly, I remember the old stories about Stallman's free software MIPS rig. He ran that to prove a point that was important to him.
