Why the hysteria right now? Can't we do a somewhat delayed release of
sparc if need be?
Robustness and quality is all important. And a good installation
document for sparc and all ports. If you burn users with a bad
release, that's worse then never releasing. Waiting until it's good
is the best middle path. Remember RedHat 5.0?
