Even though I am a FreeBSD team member, but I am not speaking *officially*
for the team right now.
 
I am expecting that the first port of FreeBSD to another architecture
will be to a PowerPC, since it will be a new, growing architecture if
it takes off.  I believe that it is the *right* one to do.
 
Just my opinion...
