I don't see this as that much of a hurdle to exclude BSD entirely. The same situation exists even with Linux. EL7 supports POWER7 and in the future ARM server clusters may even be a reality. I don't think we are ever going to be in the nirvana where a single runtime is going to be portable across the breadth of platforms a large organization needs to support. This is precisely why more focus needs to be on continuously building container dependencies in the same way upstream packages are. The same organizations that are interested in deploying on POWER/ARM are likely the same that would like to see BSD/Solaris support.
