That's right.

But given our resource limitations, I suggest the most pragmatic thing to do is 
support the latest FreeBSD, and leave older versions enabled in Druntime with 
`version` statements. That way the user could recompile Phobos for earlier 
versions if he needed it, but it wouldn't be officially supported.

Note that dmd still runs on Windows XP, though it is not officially supported. 
You just need to be careful about using TLS variables on it :-(
