The excessive "loling" here exemplifies the need for the following scholium, and because many have taken single sentences out of context I will include all of the details in one sentence delineated by commas and transitions; Here is a time-line of the Almquist shell's journey through the various important contributors to unices https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/ash/ash.png as you can see AIX is not on this list, however NetBSD, FreeBSD, Debian and Slackware are and this time-line serves to show an accurate picture of important contributors, as to segher's comment stating that group consensus is unimportant i will point out the illogic of critically approaching any sentence with the word "should" as erroneous, and Segher, as the largest single user of cfarm resources you 'should' be more interested in providing donations yourself than soliciting or demanding them from other community members, furthermore, the IBM staff (Stephen R. Loomis) mention of the need for node.js testing is irrelevant as it is only tangentially related to the gcc compiler suite, additionally, the request for BSD support should not be considered in any way novel or unique to my particular needs as FreeBSD and NetBSD have been the obvious workhorses that kept free software alive outside of the impressive effort of Richard Stallman (the other Allman) et al, anecdotally, none of us came to the cfarm for more virtual machines so "run it in a virtual machine" is as merit-less as "don't reinvent the wheel".
