The discussion is about default settings. The ports of KSE to other architectures will be rather minor but it's pointless to do it until the MI parts settle down. It's not worth more discussion than this. If we ned to turn off GEOM to run vinum then ok, it's not a major problem. I think it's the GEOM author's job to make it work, but if core doesn't tjink he needs to bother, that's just a reflection on FreeBSD, not me.
