I guess you aren't an embedded systems vendor with a version of FreeBSD imported into their CVS repository, who needs to be able to track bug fixes, but not large architectural changes byt using "diff" instead of "cvs diff". > 4) What about my amiga: gcc works on the amgia. Bootstrap with > NetBSD/amiga. This particular case refers to an Amiga 1000 with a 68010, which is not capable of running NetBSD. Yes, I agree that it is not a compelling argument, it was intended to be a member of a class of arguments. So even if it is easy to invalidate the Amiga argument itself, it says nothing about the class. > 2) Compat with *BSD: NetBSD is agressively removing __P. > OpenBSD is in places and not in others.

I wish you would at least gain the consensus of the OpenBSD and NetBSD projects, as well. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
