 There is a myth that setting the priority obligates any developer to
 work on any open PR.  In actuality FreeBSD is developed and
 maintained
 almost completely by volunteers and as such no one is really
 obligated
 to work on anything.

 Many problems do indeed get addressed during an RC period.  In
 particular
 the QA cycles for 5.2 and 5.3 fixed dozens if not hundreds of
 problems.
 But if we waited until every single problem was fixed we would never
 release any versions whatsoever.
 
 We do the best we can given the available volunteers and beyond that
 there is really no guarantee.

 Well thanks for the history lesson, but can it get address and fixed
 for the 5.4 release?
