Will he ship them to me?
I speak as one totally dependent on my Soekris firewalls running OpenBSD.
I'm totally for this W^X work, but if it make it impossible to install OpenBSD
on my soekris machines I will be VERY unhappy.
Don't worry. It won't happen the way Philip describes. i386 will still
run on pre-PAE machines after those future changes.
Thank you!
