And, after several years for all of this, to see that FreeBSD have lost many
old users? That's will be too late.

You retort here ad hominem, while the policy quoted above is true. Nobody has
to be core@ member to predict this policy will eventually harm FreeBSD
userbase. Anybody could say that meal is bad, he don't need to be head-cook for
this to taste and say.

P.S. If I couldn't explain why you were wrong here, there is an article in
another language that does this much better:
