So I want to get an idea if we can start trying to move FreeBSD/powerpc* users from 12.X to 13.0 once 13.0 is released. The problem is that we have limitations on: - hardware resources w/rt building ports on 3 branches - human resources trying to support 3 branches The powerpc ports team (the entire handful of us) is talking about dropping ports building for 12-STABLE in favor of starting to build 14-CURRENT. How many people will this affect if we do so? fwiw, I personally believe 13.0 will be a complete superset except for: - ports that fail due to duplicate_symbol and all of those are problems shared with even amd64. (Also, I personally believe that it is fair to say "we do not really support powerpc* on 10.X or 11.Y. Please upgrade.") How many people will these changes effect? It's time to speak up ... mcl
