I'm not against >either, although I consider the latter goal to be a bit silly. My agenda is to find some data either in support of or disproving a theory I have about a timing related issue. I realize that we may instead end up with some entirely different data which proves that we should not carry 386[sd]x support forward in RELENG_5. If so I can live with that, I'll have to find another way to find "my" datapoints then. I also don't think we should even think about redecorating this particular bikeshed at this time. If two weeks from now nobody has managed to get -current on a genuine 386[sd]x CPU, then we have a new data point which might merit discussion. Right we would just have the usual arm-chair generals and pundits pounding their pulpits.
