I would like to take the chance to thank you for your work for FreeBSD! freebsd-update and portsnap are welcome innovations that make managing a large number of FreeBSD servers easier! I think the binary patch concept has enormous potential, and I look forward for the fruits FreeBSD will gather from it in the future. (My wet dream is freebsd-update for installed ports). I have to ask, if the fundraise succeeds, will some time be spent on providing freebsd-update support for amd64? :-) Frode Nordahl frode@nordahl.net
