Debian pushes development of kFreeBSD port

“The kFreeBSD architectures for the AMD64/Intel EM64T and i386
processor architectures are now release architectures. Severe bugs
on these architectures will be considered release critical the same
way as bugs on other architectures like armel or i386 are. If a
particular package does not build or work properly on such an
architecture this problem is considered release-critical.

“Debian’s main motivation for the inclusion of the FreeBSD
kernel into the official release process is the opportunity to
offer to its users a broader choice of kernels and also include a
kernel that provides features such as jails, the OpenBSD Packet
Filter and support for NDIS drivers in the mainline kernel with
full support.”
