I do as well. I do admire the amount of work required to get those ports up and running, but I still see them as a toys without real (production) deployment base. I see a value in non-Linux ports in finding bugs that won't manifest on Linux ports, but to me they are not mandatory, just nice to have. And thus I don't think we should make our decisions based on existence of our non-Linux ports. E.g. we should not be taken hostage by lowest common denominator.
