The idea isn't bad, but it should be seperate from the FreeBSD project,
mainly because I dislike good/bad reviews of third party software on
the main site. Regardless if its helpful for people or not, it doesn't
look good. Perhaps I'm being wierd about it, but its a good idea as
long as its kept seperate from the main project ;) Thats my .02 hehe
