At this point, have the BSD port maintainers of the POWER/PPC(32/64) learned to work together? In parts, yes is the answer. I have noticed that there are different problems in both the NetBSD and OpenBSD architecture ports. Currently, FreeBSD is the most advanced OS for the POWER architectures. Working together instead of against and on your own would make things better for everyone. All would benefit.
