JFDI. I know I for one am sick of this silly "what should we port to" back and forth.
Here's what we should do: 1) Find a machine, as an autonomous individual 2) use it to port. If people have a better idea, let them buy and ship you the machine, but if they're not writing code to have it work there, they're at the mercy of the people that are.
