FreeBSD on the Talos II; OpenPOWER in general

I could not determine clearly from 
https://wiki.freebsd.org/powerpc/POWER9 whether FreeBSD works today as a 
server or desktop operating system for this hardware.

It seems clear that OpenPOWER, with its entirely open architecture & 
firmware, including OpenBMC, is the way forward.

I was wondering if this is a perception shared by the FreeBSD 
developers? Is there interest and/or focused effort in bringing 
OpenPOWER all the way up to Tier-1 status?

IMO this has been the most exciting hardware development in recent 
years, and a great leap forward towards truly free computing.
