Thus my current focus is on getting CPython and PyPy (or PyPy3) > up and running as default python interpreters for FreeBSD. Once I have "finished" my remaining big ports I would like to move on to getting IronPython and Jython working nicely with Ports.

I do agree with your expectation: as the sole PyPy maintainer I do consider myself part of the PyPy team. --nextPart2131470.HuaFo0ZK1R Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAlH9DP4ACgkQUaaFgP9pFrLp8gCfWIue+RgV5rfrmbTnhxy+Jqyu Z2sAn34UVDDNBC88F0+3GhVg0bpevDf+ =4Hlz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2131470.HuaFo0ZK1R--
