Please take it as little survey, and post your thoughts > privately or to mailing list. I'm not sure either should be high-priority items, but if I had to choose one, I'd go for sparc64. I know of a few places that might consider deploying FreeBSD on oldish sparc64 hardware for Java server applications. This is a scenario that makes sense from a business perspective: old SPARC systems tend to be replaced by commoditized Intel/AMD hardware and the decommissioned boxes could retain some value with zero cost, by installing FreeBSD and being used as backup systems in high availability configurations, or in a server farm/grid. Thanks for the excellent work!
