First, all architectures are not equal in FreeBSD's eyes. Look for "Tier 1 architectures" in the docs and mailing lists. Second, if you want this badly enough ... then convince us. Build a system; do the work; _document it_ (what you did, how long it took, how many files were involved, etc.); and show us why your way is worth it. There are others who want this; maybe you can get them to help. If it really is worth the effort, I have faith it'll get done. Robert Huff
