Having a common set of CD's / archives that This would be nice, but I'd also have to *test* these packages on those platforms or at least cooperate closely with someone from each camp to do so, and frankly that's a lot more extra work than I feel comfortable signing up for. Again, it "would be nice", I'm not disputing that, I'm simply saying that if we don't keep our goalset small, at least for the first couple of iterations of this, then we won't get it done for any of the *BSDs (including FreeBSD).
