Right; pkg_add is nice.

It's not that developers don't have time; it's that they don't have
resources. We all agree -- it would be great to see updates built
for more/all of the arches. And that can happen, I imagine. The only
problem is money and resources.

So if you care as much about having packages built for your arch as
you seem to, donate money or hardware.

Nikolay has already asked[0] for an amd64 to make -stable packages
happen; can you help?
