Given how many hours I just spent to provide a "somewhat
painless" upgrade path on for a major change to sparc64, it
would be correct to assume that I care about that platform.

That doesn't mean I'm going to do all the sparc-related work for
every project someone wants to implement on i386, but it does mean
I want the platform to be taken seriously.  It is going to be a
major challenge to the FreeBSD project to have multiple "tier 1"
platforms, and it isn't good to hear a cavalier "Who Cares?" so
early in handling that challenge.
