The branch main has been updated by emaste: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=49d7f5753c5bcc552d8f351081748db68a7f3949 commit 49d7f5753c5bcc552d8f351081748db68a7f3949 Author: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2021-09-20 20:05:12 +0000 Commit: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-09-21 15:35:53 +0000 committers-guide: use "Unsupported" instead of "Tier 4" Our use of "Tier 4" to represent unsupported architectures has caused confusion, especially when we did not explain what the tiers mean on in the platform list itself. Just use "Unsupported" to describe the architectures that are unsupported by a given release.
