Even if there is a README which > explains that amd64 == x86_64. *scratcheshishead* Doesn't it seem to you like being a bit untidy? And, btw, for how long "the legacy" will be going on...? With so much changes between 2.6.3 and 2.8.0? Do you really think/know that "the legacy" systems will be kept running yet after new release (which one)? Manpower shortages define status quo, no doubt about it, as pkg_radd/pkg_search are still unchanged with amd64 links. I tell you sincere, I made "research", my posts may testify, how far the system is "mature" - of course on my terms, not DFBSD developers'. And I didn't buy the "production ready" hype.
