I must say that a couple of the FreeBSD devs look really bad in that 
bugzilla item. I see bad faith and denial and comments blaming 
downstream. And then at the end, oh dear, you were right all along, here 
are a few pushes that fix the problem.

Franco was out of place using bugzilla to express his thoughts about how 
he felt the issue was badly dealt with. From what I see of the 
non-technical aspects of that bugzilla item, it's comment 76 that 
matches what I read.
