I know nothing about powerpc but I've been on the edge of my seat ever since this was announced at UDS:

"Ubuntu’s Ubiquity installer will be ‘beefed up’ to provide all of the 
features offered by the ‘alternate installer’, resulting in the latter 
being dropped as a download option."

Seems scary to me, but the installer team tends to keep things "behind closed doors" and we mere mortals don't know what change has been made until the last shoe actually drops :^(

The question that you should ask is : If there is any hardware using
powerpc which not support installation with the desktop ISO ? On other
architectures, we keep an alternate ISO because we can't install Lubuntu
on some hardware (usually, when there is few RAM or disk space). If it's
not the case for powerpc, maybe we can drop the alternate ?
