That's an intereting philosopical point. So FreeBSD supports time travel, 
quantum computing, and plenty of ice cream all round, but of course is 
incapable of delivering any assistance to those who wish to implement any of 
these things. Well, it might help order tracking on the ice cream.

I think it's time for a few things to happen then:

1. We move this to -chat (reply-to this mail set accordingly)
2. The -advocacy mailing list should prepare a press release that FreeBSD
now supports everything everybody ever wanted
3. We lock down for the slashdot trolls coming in wanting to know how it is 
we're supporting hardware that hasn't been designed yet.

What a wonderful game for a June afternoon. I'm almost glad to be alive. But 
not quite.
