From my perspective, any improvement to boot times is highly welcome. I am not affected by the older/legacy instance types. I suspect that in the world of fast-changing cloud provisioning, and very much unlike in the world of real hardware, there would be less of a need to maintain support for older platforms. While it is important for FreeBSD to support older physical hardware, laptops, cards etc, I do not think that is as important for cloud platforms at all. However, I fully respect that others may have different perspectives, so please do not base your decision merely on mine. -- Rafal Lukawiecki Data Scientist Project Botticelli Ltd
