I think offense was taken at the implication that FreeBSD should
be "keeping up with Linux", since the Linux status was the only
apparently relevant data to FreeBSD that the posting contained.

Actually, I read the thing from a web site, not on a mailing list.

Which brings up the question of "who" and "why hackers@freebsd.org
and not platforms@freebsd.org"?

As far as I know, I'm the only FreeBSD person with a PowerPC box
that intends to run FreeBSD on it eventually, and I didn't make
the request.
