I do as well. I do admire the amount of work required to get those ports
up and running, but I still see them as a toys without real (production)
deployment base. I see a value in non-Linux ports in finding bugs that
won't manifest on Linux ports, but to me they are not mandatory, just
nice to have.
And thus I don't think we should make our decisions based on existence
of our non-Linux ports. E.g. we should not be taken hostage by lowest
common denominator.
