I am well aware of what sampling means, your argument if flawed, you may 
have the sample of the community that does not like it, the people who 
do like it may not find it important enough to post about. Quite frankly 
it is of no importance as the community were not the ones with a say 
about it, the FreeBSD management were and they did.
