Well, there could just aswell be FreeBSD devlopers under NDA who cannot
say so because of the NDA for all we know. 

Information available under NDA is practically the same as *NO* information.

I think anybody havingthe skills of doing FreeBSD porting/kernel work is
much better spent on Alpha and problems FreeBSD has, and most definately
not on IA64. 

IMHO no point of even thinking about IA64 befoore somebody has at least
*demoed* a machine.
