It should make the code base easier to maintain, cleaner, and safer. And it would impossible to run FreeBSD for 32 bit platforms such as MIPS32 or i386-based virtual machine guests that use noticeable less memory than amd64. FreeBSD has appliances other than desktops. > In this same vein, let's deprecate and remove things like telnet and ftp. They are still in use, for telco hardware etc. They are also perfectly safe while running over IPSEC or isolated vlans.
