Uh guys, hello?  Perhaps not pissing on the developers would be a good idea?
This list is to help organize those who are contributing something to the
FreeBSD PPC project, not for every PPC owner to join the list and say "Are
we there yet?  Are we there yet?  Are we there yet?  How long till we get
there?" while other people are trying to write code.  Have a little respect
for the people who put the work in to create the software you use or desire
to use.

Despite the childish nature of your spiteful comment about going to NetBSD,
that's a really good idea!  NetBSD has a functioning PPC port at the moment.
If you want BSD on PPC now, NetBSD is not a bad choice.  You can always come
back to FreeBSD/PPC when the port is finished.  That would certainly be more
contructive than what you're doing here.
