I don't understand all critics I see in this thread and in your mail,
the fate of this project is all in your hands - try to contribute more,
collaborate with developers more, give your ideas and proposals, think
about its future and try to improve it, particiapte in FreeBSD
conferences and workshops, read code and code.

Rephrasing famous quote - if you judge something, you have no time to
love it.
