It would be better if all were updated.  But.....

I am pretty sure neither BSP has had a real update in years and
it is possible that they could be removed.  I didn't look to confirm
this though and it would require a specific post to the mailing
list asking for any users.

I am pretty sure the i386ex is no longer recommended for new designs
and may not be available at all anymore.

With that said, if the pc386 got updated and tested, I would be very
happy.  If the others got updated and compiled, I would be happy.
