Instead of freebsd.com, why not...

They both aim at exactly the same market, but different personalities.
While sendmail.org aims at the more technical people, usually the ones 
that will actually run the software, sendmail.com aims for the 
directors, the ones that make the decision to run it.
Our current freebsd.org website is perfect for the first category, but 
believe me, it scares the shit out of the higher management kind of 
people. Argue all you want that people like that should not be allowed 
to make such decisions, I've seen it happen and Im sure it happens all 
the time.

So far, I have not seen one single valid argument against a 
freebsd.com website or a new logo, so I side with the people that 
wants some changes to happen in this one.
