100% agreement.

If you want to go to extremes, require the user to put=20
zfs.zfs.run_on_32_bit_and_i_understand_i_am_an_idiot_and_this_is_not_recomm=
ended=3D1=20
in loader.conf, or else have the kernel panic by design on boot.

But don't make it totally impossible without patching the source, *please*.

Obviously the exception is if development for i386 stops such that it actua=
lly=20
does not work. But disallowing it for artificial reasons... please leave=20
things like that to proprietary hardware/software vendors trying to squeeze=
=20
money of out consumers, and leave it out of a free operation system.
