Sorry.

 You pissed people off by thinking and expressing. You actually did something
when someone said - you don't like it - change it... But change frightens
people.. And you took a stand.
 Much of FreeBSD has changed since I first started using it.. and to me
not all in a good way.. That's the way it goes. Not everyone thinks the same
way. (Darnit)

 I believe, that freebsd having the unified front is both a positive and a
negitive. Linux is divided, but, that enables people to choose which they feel
more at home with. Glossy or Matte.. Techie or Friendly. 

 Personally I would love to see FreeBSD divide into Server/Workstation versions
which would also then, create the techie/friendly different fronts along with
it. Such as your aim is to provide.

 Hopefully it will at least be a "Madonna Move" and get people talking and
thinking more about it! :)
