If the author has good business sense, pushing and prodding will not make
a bit of difference. He or she will nod good-naturedly and tell folks
to use the emulator. And then focus on the Linux version of the product.

It is just not a good business proposition to release native binaries for
FreeBSD with the emulator available. There is NO benefit. Zip. Nada. None.

When the intelligent businessperson tells you that, Brett, what will you
say?
