- Adding FreeBSD to CI (which I think was proposed by Ard too) sounds great. - The community not having any human resources permanently dedicated to bhyve regressions (testing, review, and post factum fixing) is fine, as long as the bhyve stakeholders can live with a matching frequency of regressions.
