What I think is interesting is the only ~50% uptake of FreeBSD/amd64
on 64-bit x86 capable systems. FreeBSD/i386 takes ~90% of the pie.
Also the less then 1% uptake of sparc64 and alpha ports and 0% for
FreeBSD/PPC. Maybe we should can some of these platform ports, how
much overhead do they add to the project?
