Unless https://www.openbsd.org/plat.html is out of date, it doesn't look
like OpenBSD is currently supporting POWER8 or POWER9 plaftorms.
I wonder what is the best way to determine interest in getting OpenBSD
to work on POWER8/9?
Look for amount of diffs published in the direction of getting it to work.
If that is zero or very close to zero, then interest is probably at the
same level.
It's not that simple. From application developer even with decades of
experience you do not convert into kernel developer over night. Neither
you will be able to read all the required docs and specs and make a
brain map from them over night. It takes time. Also with all this under
your belt, still the port itself will take another time. So I would be
less sharp with 0 patches == 0 interest judgement.
