:    :    [Yes, there's a port-sparc64 list]
   :    : [yes, but it should be just an alias for this list, but isn't (yet)]
   :    
   :    And why is that?
   : 
   : because the ultimate plan (tm) is to eventually have just /sys/arch/sparc
   : with both 32-bit & 64-bit support all in here.  also because we want it
   : that way and have been asking for it for a year or more.
   
   This has some serious implications for the uses of MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH.  
   Were you planning to keep those as "sparc64" for a 64-bit-native system?


of course.  the only thing that really will change is the location
of files.  the point of the change is that >90% of the code is the
same still and re-sharing it is a sane thing to do.
