Everyone appreciates Alexey's many warm-hearted contributions to advancing 
FreeBsd for all comers. 

<chuckles> - you have to laugh when people provoke flames - you will go the 
way you need to go and I wish you all the best. I am sorry that letting you 
know how much I appreciated the the results of upgrading has had such an 
impact upon you. If I had known in advance that you would have responded so 
beligerantly to  my original short one liner I would have kept quiet.
 
Whilst it is not unreasonable to conclude that some of the difficulties with 
the JDK is another good reason for upgrading on top of all the additional 
features of 5.x., I would agree that how much additional weight it adds to 
that initiative must be a matter of individual need and taste. 

If you wish to aggressively define that conclusion about upgrading as 
'ill-informed "opinions"' then who am I to object - after all  you are free 
to express your contrary opinions, and make your own choice about the degree 
of politeness and warmth applicable to that expression.
