Per the official support page, stable/11 will be supported through September 30, 2021. So even if sparc64 src is deleted from 12, it will still be usable on 11 through that time: https://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#sup I suppose we could try to convince the src people to leave it in the tree for 12, but merely disconnected; however, I think once it's disconnected it will just bitrot. That was certainly the fate of the alpha arch. (Given that FreeBSD src was under a much more rapid rate of change in that timeframe.) mcl
