Do you suppose that "csup" will when it's finished? How many active ia64 (and ppc) developers does the FreeBSD platform have? Well, there's Marcel. Would you rather he work on the kernel or ezm3? You've suggested the modulo-3 is a dead language, how would you categorize the ia64 architecture? -- Steve
