Hmm, this probably needs a bit more words as there are some subtle differences here: - armv6 support has been removed entirely, but armv7 support remains. In practice I think this just means that FreeBSD 16 won't run on a system with an ARM CPU older than v7. - For i386 and 32-bit powerpc (and it's worth being explicit about powerpc since sometimes "powerpc" is used as an umbrella term that covers both 32-bit and 64-bit), native kernels are no longer supported, but existing 32-bit binaries can still be executed using 32-bit compatibility mode under a 64-bit kernel. - For armv7, i386, powerpcspe, and powerpc, no release media or other artifacts are provided, nor are any pre-built packages provided. (And this point is perhaps a reason why I think this doesn't belong in a kernel-only section, but a top-level "architectures" section.) -- John Baldwin
