Yes, I would say so.

We're doing that already for avr32, so that's not really a big
problem. I'm more worrying about how much we need to patch individual
packages to work on microblaze. In the past we had quite some avr32
patches, which made it harder to move to newer versions and added extra
complexity to BR.

But as long as the microblaze developers work on getting their changes
upstream, I don't have a problem with adding microblaze support.
