    So you are not saying that 'doscmd' is universally broken, so much
    as FreeBSD is now running on more hardware platforms where doscmd
    serves no purpose?

    (disclaimer: I don't care whether doscmd stays in the base, or if
    it becomes a i386-only port. I'm just wondering why it came up as
    a topic right now...).
