a08b719bde ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk uses __FreeBSD_version >= 500039 as a test for
bzip2 package support (there wasn't a __FreeBSD_version bump for this
feature, but the date is pretty close).  Document this.

227d30fb09 Add x86-64 as a Tier 3 platform: we're currently able to boot the i386
FreeBSD implementation on it at production quality, and x86-64-specific
code is in progress in a combination of the main FreeBSD CVS repository
and Perforce.  Once x86-64 native support is appropriately improved, we
can migrate it to Tier 2.

66f5756a50 The FreeBSD Core Team has approved a new policy with regards to the
status of various architectural platforms and requirements for
support and development of those platforms.  This policy distinguishes
systems into four tiers:

Tier 1: Fully Supported Architectures
Tier 2: Developmental Architectures
Tier 3: Experimental Architectures
Tier 4: Unsupported Architectures

In addition, the Core Team has also approved a policy regarding how
the status of a hardware architecture may be formally changed.  This
policy is new, and subject to review, comment, and modification as
appropriate.  The details of this policy are implemented in this
change to the FreeBSD Committer's Handbook, which all committers
are encouraged to read and review.

Note: Although sparc64 is currently listed as a 'Developmental
Architecture', it is expected that it will become a 'Fully Supported
Architecture' prior to FreeBSD 5.0.  Likewise, it is likely that
ia64 will become a 'Fully Supported Architecture' prior to the
release.
