Do they implement the ISA required by the existing Debian port?

I'm sure “death” encompasses all events which might lead Debian to
lose access to relevant hardware.  It's not just about faults with a
piece of equipment.

Hi

What are your plans for the future of init on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD? Are you 
going to continue with sysvinit for the time being?

For the upcoming release of ubuntuBSD I'm thinking about using BusyBox + OpenRC 
(https://blog.flameeyes.eu/2012/03/using-busybox-with-openrc). Do you think 
this is a good idea? Is there a particular reason you're staying with sysvinit?

Whoops, I just realised that Hector *did* ask if powerpc had active
users.  Sorry for the misguided response to what seemed like off-topic
chatter.
