Yes, it does deserve it.  These old Macs are fine pieces of hardware, but
some of their limitations (e.g. max amount of supported RAM) makes them
harder to use with contemporary bloated software.

FreeBSD/powerpc was relatively lucky for quite a while because it was using
sane compiler (gcc-4.2).  Unfortunately, I've heard it might get downgraded
to clang in not so distant future. :-(
