I know Theo and others are opposed to it, but I still would like to see it on the Raspberry Pi. Kind of a missed opportunity to make it easy for lots of people

  The following "Blob" song and notes explain why they don't do it: http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#39 http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#39 And I agree with it entirely :)

  That is from 2012: in 2012 Raspberry Pi was a closed platform, not at all recommended: https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi http://whitequark.org/blog/2012/09/25/why-raspberry-pi-is-unsuitable-for-education/ http://whitequark.org/blog/2012/09/25/why-raspberry-pi-is-un... Things have only started to change recently when BroadCom released some documentation: https://libv.livejournal.com/26434.html https://libv.livejournal.com/26434.html There is some support for OpenBSD on ARM, for hardware that is more open than the Raspberry Pi: http://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html http://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html

  It's not that Theo & co oppose it per se. It's that they are not interested in working on it, for a number of good reasons. If you are interested and willing to do the work to get it running (with free software), I'm sure somebody will take a look at the diffs you send to tech@. Chances are you'll also have to maintain the work.

  Well the Beaglebone Black is supported which is pretty much a more powerful Raspberry Pi and only costs $10 more.

    Anywhere you can actually buy one, though? They seem to be on backorder everywhere I've checked.
