I am all for the Idea of considering PC-BSD FreeBSD's Officially supported Desktop.

I assume that is what we are aiming for here. one thing I am a little confused about though.

Kris more mentioned to me once that, one of the reasons why portupgrade -ar would not work well on PC-BSD is because, hal was patched. I am not sure of the details. but could we pull this patch back into FreeBSD , so that portupgrade -ar would not mess up PC-BSD?

the only other patch I am aware of is the patch for wine on FreeBSD 6.3, but one could ignore this as it goes away in PCBSD7 anyway.

for those of us that don't know about it, there is a VERY early alpha build of PC-BSD7 based on FreeBSD 7 located here ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/alpha-isos/

Just a thought
