No.  G3 is PPC.  There might be cause to optimize for various PPCs, but not
for G3 or PPC.  G3 is PPC 750.  I have four PPCs in my house:  PPC 601
(7100), PPC 603 (PowerBook 540 w/ PPC upgrade), and two PPC 750s (PowerBook
G3/292 and iMac rev. B).  They are all PPCs.

To say that someone supports G3s and PPCs is not a big faux pas, everyone
knows what you mean, but it is cause for concern when someone who is
putting together an OS makes that mistake, IMO.
