I thought it was tier 3. Is this a typo? However, I think it probably meets the definition for Tier 2 (it not in external source code control for example) and even some features of Tier 1 (cross-built packages are available). One note is that Tier 2 does require 3 active developers, but I think we probably have that. What do other folks think? I think we are close enough. Most things work, but not all. We have more rough edges in MIPS than any other mainstream FreeBSD port. However, the rough edges are consistent with where arm was a few years ago on it's path to being nearly tier 1.
