> and you refuse a community port to another architecture, you are doing a huge disservice to your community

Someone who has a computer that my software can't run on isn't in my community. If they really want to use the software, they have the option of: 1) get a different computer, or 2) maintain their own custom-special port of my software forever.

In other words, they have to JOIN the community if the want the BENEFITS of the community. It's not my job to extend my community to encompass every possible use case and hardware platform.
