New Revision: 53471
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/53471
Log:
Add a sect2 for "General Notes on Architectures".
I had assumed that everyone was aware of these considerations, but,
based on a conversation on ports-svn-commits, this is not the case.
This text does not change policy; it merely documents existing
technology.
