Given how many hours I just spent to provide a "somewhat painless" upgrade path on for a major change to sparc64, it would be correct to assume that I care about that platform. That doesn't mean I'm going to do all the sparc-related work for every project someone wants to implement on i386, but it does mean I want the platform to be taken seriously. It is going to be a major challenge to the FreeBSD project to have multiple "tier 1" platforms, and it isn't good to hear a cavalier "Who Cares?" so early in handling that challenge. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Wed Mar 24 2004 - 15:56:50 UTC
