I have the same question wrt my PPC32 dashboard, which seems red for the same reasons:

<https://open.cdash.org/viewBuildError.php?buildid=3798271>

Seems to me some steps were skipped here.  Sunjin's post about dropping support was April 23, and no one really complained.   But before actually dropping support, it should have been announced that the decision was made.  Then docs and dashboards could be updated before the switch was flipped.

Cheers,
