FreeBSD core should review these. ARM architecture is and will be = important for future. 1. ARMv8 should be upgraded from Tier 2 to Tier 1, as a supported = platform.

And you cant have a supported platform sfor further development = without ownership and maintenance. So, for sure the platform requires a = maintainer.=20 Stefan
