Right now I don't need a specialized router machine, but when I was
considering one, I remember being turned away from OPNsense by some
thread in a mailing list or a forum -- maybe even this list -- noting
that its binary distribution was compiled for a particular amd64 ISA
sub/superset, and wouldn't run on others.

Sorry I don't remember more details, maybe others will instantly know
what I mean?
