Doesn't it seem to you like being a bit untidy? And, btw, for how long
"the legacy" will be going on...? With so much changes between 2.6.3
and 2.8.0? Do you really think/know that "the legacy" systems will be
kept running yet after new release (which one)?

Manpower shortages define status quo, no doubt about it, as
pkg_radd/pkg_search are still unchanged with amd64 links.

I tell you sincere, I made "research", my posts may testify, how
far the system is "mature" - of course on my terms, not DFBSD
developers'. And I didn't buy the "production ready" hype.

Regards
