14
15 atm, i see amd64-fbsd as a toy arch that is impacting more negatively than it
16 is positively. i don't know of anyone using it for real work. it doesn't
17 have the large KEYWORDS deployment yet to not make it obnoxious for simple
18 things.

21
22 this is why i've kept some arches which are not large in dev profiles -- so
23 that when a new dep does come up, other devs aren't blocked. i've also
24 communicated in the past that they should feel free to drop the keyword & file
25 a bug later so that they aren't hung up on work they're focusing on.

38
39 except amd64-fbsd is no longer just a dev profile like x86-fbsd which means
40 those broken deps are messing people up. people who had nothing to do with
41 the breakage in the first place.
