to be brtual:  What are you going to do about it?  Ask not what FreeBSD
can do for you, but what you can do for FreeBSD.  (To steal a quote from
someone else who adopted the quote to FreeBSD.)

People keep forgetting that FreeBSD is a volunteer organization, and
demanding that people fix things for them.

FreeBSD was built by developers and hobbiest who have free time to
work on the code.  If it's this important to you, start a fund and
find someone to pay to do the work for you.  <continued mantra about
free software and how work gets done>.
