:) Thanks. Hope you enjoyed it.

Currently assigned may not mean as much as you think. It is often done by
someone to direct the ticket to who wrote the code. I know I often file
tickets where I have looked into who is most likely to fix it and assign it
to them.

For example, I need to file a ticket for breakages building rtems-examples
using waf. And when you build RTEMS using rtems6 tools, there are breakages
because rtems5 is not replaced with rtems6 is still in some places. I
reported both I think this week to devel.

If that's the direction you want to go in, the x86_64 port and bsp are
incomplete. There should be plenty of room to get things working. This
would help ween us off of depending on legacy boot PCs.

For the most part, there isn't much priority. If you ask different people,
you will likely get different answers.
