> old hardware. :) Technically RELENG_4 is open for committers hobbyists museums projects etc who like to continue supporting the Pentium+ISA platform and all its pluggable hardware. And there's lots of hardware that can [still, physically] plug into 64-bit platforms running HEAD... (which is likely to exist for decades to come, barring some totally new revolutionary instruction arch platform paradigm shift adoption)... that do not have existing or working or good drivers. Hard to conceive that anyone's at least working driver modules could not be accepted into ports as part of some sort of new "legacy" hardware enthusiasts sub-project. Opportunity exists to organize and incorporate such framework, crowdfund elements, collect and send hardware, etc. Have fun :)
