Slightly more than three years ago, I released FreeBSD Update, my

being a graduate student at Oxford University -- busy writing my
thesis
-- to a researcher at Simon Fraser University -- busy doing research
and writing papers -- my "to do" list of FreeBSD-related work has
continued growing, and I have now come to realize that some of the
items on that list will probably never be finished until I get a
chance
to work full-time on FreeBSD.
I would like to take the chance to thank you for your work for
FreeBSD! freebsd-update and portsnap are welcome innovations that
make managing a large number of FreeBSD servers easier!
I think the binary patch concept has enormous potential, and I look
forward for the fruits FreeBSD will gather from it in the future. (My
wet dream is freebsd-update for installed ports).
I have to ask, if the fundraise succeeds, will some time be spent on
providing freebsd-update support for amd64? :-)
