And yet, the guidelines for the PRs specifically state that submissions
that have not been discussed in the mailing list will likely be ignored.
So instead of just submitting reports into GNATs, I did what the guidelines
suggested and posted it in the mailing list first.

For which I have gotten sarcastic responses and insults.

I _DID_ follow the process documented on the FreeBSD website.  The maturity
level of responses I have received leaves much to be desired.
