|yeah, i saw that, but FreeBSD-11 is kinda alpha, and there are also

	-STABLE isn't exactly beta, it's generally production
	quality, at leeast for those of us who are willing to
	test it first (i've had maybe 2 issues in several years
	which resolved themselves rapidly)

	most likely the code for the pi2 wil work unchanged
	on the pi3 - if there are wiggles needed, if any,  they
	will probably have been solved & posted in the arm group


|i kinda get the impression that FreeBSD-10.3 will run on the Pi,

	it's still "experimental", altho reports are that is
	is reasonably stable by now - look here for downloads:
