OpenBSD 3.6 Live (O'ReillyNet) [LWN.net]

Federico Biancuzzi interviews several members of the OpenBSD team about the upcoming OpenBSD 3.6 release, on O'ReillyNet. "FB: At the moment the [SMP] code works on i386 and amd64 platforms. Which platforms do you plan to support in the future?
Niklas Hallqvist: Loose plans, not any guarantees made: alpha, ppc, sparc(64), and maybe mvme88k :-) Maybe the new mips port? Who knows. This is work that probably must be done just because it is fun. There's hardly a large demand with funders around the corner. And today, unfortunately, there's not much time left for fun projects anymore. I was very lucky to get paid to do part of this fun work; otherwise it might not have happened."

Horribly misleading quote

"The code" here refers to SMP support specifically. OpenBSD 3.6 supports
a large number of platforms otherwise.
