That's a pity ... I was thinking in terms of an uber-l33t dual-AMD64
beast machine running FreeBSD 6 (or maybe 7 by the time I get around to
it) for my next desktop.

(Not that I ever sit at my desktop any more, and am about to repurpose
my FBSD 5 desktop as FBSD 6 and very much a household *server*.)

Is there a list or project page on precisely what needs fixing on amd64?

(I could always run Ubuntu, but I have my laptop for that ...)
