This change is ok (sparc64 simply isn't prevelant), but it is not as simple a change as this commit implies. > Modified: > head/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/article.xml > > Modified: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/article.xml > ============================================================================== > --- head/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/article.xml Tue Aug 16 12:29:51 2016 (r49290) > +++ head/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/article.xml Tue Aug 16 13:18:00 2016 (r49291) > @@ -3614,24 +3614,20 @@ Relnotes: yes > >

Both are little endian, both use a register file, both use the same DMA and cache implementation, and both use hardware page tables. I think you need to axe this entire paragraph. -- John Baldwin
