Is there any chance that FreeBSD will see support for Intels HD4XXX graphics built in
into Intel Haswell CPUs? New hardware, mostly laptops and also XEON E3-v3 CPUs are
excluded when they're supposed to be used with the integrated graphics with FreeBSD.
Since more than a year FreeBSD lacks in support. I think it is illadvised to think about
outdated hardware when it comes to the use of a certain OS like FreeBSD.

I've already switched a bunch of  Haswell-based notebooks to a Linux system due to the
lack of iGPU support. It is ridiculous to purchase outdated hardware (IvyBridge and less
or outdated graphics hardware).
