Hi,

Although our primary new work is targeting the POWER systems, we have
no plans to abandon the Apple PowerMac platforms.  Though I no longer
have a working G5 for FreeBSD myself, I make every effort to debug with
those who do, and anything that's shared with the G4 I can test on my
various G4 systems.
