If you show up with "I have this problem _______ it's happening on freebsd 8.3," the only answer you'll get is "Does it happen with -current?" All in all, I have the impression that not many people "use" freebsd on arm at all. Lots of people play with it briefly, then wander away because even if they do some work and try to contribute it back it never gets committed, I think because there aren't enough committers with enough time, the right hardware to test on, and so forth. -- Ian
