For me sounds like a good idea. Personally, I'm always having problems with 2
of my packages, driftnet and kdeconnect, on kfreebsd. For example now i'm
facing compile errors on driftnet [1] and in the past I get some sporadic
failures on the tests for kdeconnect [2].
Currently there's not, out of the box. ec2 kfreebsd support, I can only see
freebsd images [3]. But I guess that creating kfreebsd AMI's could not be much
work [4].
