Relics?
The Freescale 68K variants are actually pretty mainstream.
If Freescale survives, perhaps. But after being spun off from
Motorola and passed around as an LBO, Freescale has a lot of debt to
service. If Freescale goes down the rathole, I suspect that 68K
architecture
will disappear completely very quickly.
Well of course, as is the case with any (nearly-)single-source
architecture.
