Hi!

Then you and others should stand up and provide feedback like this far, far
earlier in the development process.

If everyone who communicates says "x" and no-one says anything about the
other letters "a"->"w", "y", "z", then we as developers don't really have a
good cross-section of what people actually need.

If you truely are doing things that require this level of service(s), then
I encourage you to contact the FreeBSD Foundation and communicate exactly
what your requirements are and why. They'll be able to steer things.

Thanks!
