The RPi, please -- from a completely selfish point of view, since I have
one on my desk that's waiting to be my CUPS print server.  From a less
selfish viewpoint, its low cost is bound to attract a larger number of
users.  (It already has sold 1.75 million units worldwide according to
some sources.)  But any work at all on FreeBSD/ARM is guaranteed to be
beneficial to FreeBSD/s success going forward.  Unless ARM becomes a
Tier 1 platform for FreeBSD, we will end up getting left even further
behind in operating system uptake than we already are.      -- George
