I'd say if the criterion was "old" then there are other candidates with far fewer units in circulation with hardware almost (over?) a decade older, like powerpc and powerpcspe. Literally *millions* of the rpi1b+ and its analogues were sold. They are durable boards, and they'll belong mainly to hobbyists. And as you say, they are still being made. Does FreeBSD *really* want to remove themselves from this audience? -- J.
