FreeBSD Tools for ProLiant -- Status on FreeBSD 8

Hello. We have some ProLiants in use, and plan to migrate them to 8.x. One of my concerns is, if and when the ProLiant tools get an update to work with releases after 6. I saw this question pop up in the archives of freebsd-proliant, but directing it to a broader audience might help the cas
