The screenshot says:

Should the support for PowerPC Desktop be continued?
Yes, continue support - 20.7% (167 votes)
No, don't support and bury it - 79.3% (639 votes)

Which is a tad confusing, as there is no hardware to run Ubuntu
Desktop on. The forum post is a rough translation of Steve's post and
does mention that flavours & server are not affected.
But it does have historic info about powerpc Macs at the end.
