I have internal (happens just for me, in my head) bet that recent Postgres 15 won't be even benchmarked on FreeBSD by any meaningful vendor. By vendor here I refer to companies like Percona, 2ndQuadrant, EnterpriseDB, Greenplum and/or hosting vendors - like AWS/AZURE/GCP (like they may find out that on ARM servers FreeBSD + Postgres15 are a sweet couple) or some Postgres devs - not a random person on internet.

Lack of such benchmarking, will be indicator of "no one cares on that platform anymore".

Nginx can be other one "indicator" - Nginx started as FreeBSD focused product in company heavily focused on FreeBSD (I know couple of persons from there by that times), nowdays not even mentioning ARM64 in list of supported product

> FreeBSD 3 — 12 / i386; FreeBSD 5 — 12 / amd64; FreeBSD 11 / ppc; FreeBSD 12 / ppc64;

from [1] and [2]. Not a big deal for _now_ but, but - more and more ARM servers in major hostings, even Hetzner has 2 of them. Seems this train have been missed too.

Let's see will I win my bet or not.
