In FreeBSD the tradition is not to drop functionality in the !.0 timeframe. If that happened there would be a big announcement about it. It would violate our "Principle Of Least Astonishment" (POLA) which we try to live by. > The wiki contains more information > https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/rpi3 > https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry Pi > but talks about CURRENT not 11.1. Most of the development for arm is going on in -current. Not everything is being merged to 11-STABLE. There is too much work to do for the volunteers we have available. This also applies to the documentation, which is clearly lagging. Your best bet right now is to join the community on IRC on EFNet on #bsdmips and ask questions if you need help. #bsdmips has evolved to be a catchall for our non-mainstream architectures. This is just the reality of a volunteer project. mcl
