If 6.0 is the place to drop 80386 and amd64 will running on a fair amount of new Intel HW (Xeon/P4/Mobile) then maybe we should just migrate FreeBSD to amd64 in the future and leave the i386 stuff as is and not worry about it as much. It seems amd64 should be the main platform for 6.0 IMHO since amd64 should be common place by then. This to me seems to be a cleaner point to split at. The main reason for not doing this is that there are some vendors kernel modules that won't work on amd64 so that would put a burden on them. For example I can't run the NVidia card with X on the Dell system at have at work when running amd64 but it works fine with their driver on i386. FWIW Doug A.
