My main development machine has a bfe in it, so I will definitely be
keeping a driver for it going. I don't care if it goes away from head/curre=
nt.
(I can leave the driver somewhere for anyone else that wants it, although
 I'm not  a ports guy, so someone else would have to put it in ports.)
The other box I run FreeBSD on is an fxp, so I'll be doing the same for it,=
 if/when it gets deleted. I find these machines work fine, but I don't do Z=
FS.
