Not sure why you have not seen "anxious ARM kernel developers"; there are now quite a few people w/ boards trying to get going and everyone has to patch CVS to do anything. > > I'd like to ask when we'll get ARM resources in the FreeBSD.org cluster > so committers can have access to ARM - I don't.

Regardless I think it's going to be problematic to expect there be copies of some of these embedded platforms present in the cluster.
