There was a discussion about it over on hackers@ last November. The
thread starts at
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2011-November/036742.html
TL;DR summary: some are wildly in favour of it, others are
completely negative. I.e. the usual network response to anything :-}
I'm curious about the reasoning for the negative. I'll have to go skim
that thread. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
Unless someone capable and willing to do the port managed to get one
of the first production batch, the next lot won't be available for
7-8 weeks at the earliest. My order is currently expected to be
delivered the second week in May.
That helps me get sort of a timeline in mind, I think.
The production is halted.

Somewhat more conditional than a simple "halted" to my eyes. That could
be me being optimistic but I hope not.
