To parody you a bit:
FreeBSD team: "Here, come and have lunch with us every day. It's free."
Brett Glass: "But I don't like the menu! I don't like your cooks!
Who chose your head cooks?"
FreeBSD team: "We did."
Brett Glass: "That's undemocratic! Where are my rights as an eater
here? I should be allowed to elect the head cooks!"
FreeBSD team: "It's not realistic to get you to elect the cooks, but
as a valued diner, your suggestions and feedback are invaluable.
We'll try and think of some way to give you more avenues for
feedback, and more recognition as a regular eater. Any ideas?"
Brett Glass: "No, I want the right to elect your cooks! It's true your
food is free, but I've been driving here at my expense every day, I
have a huge investment in you, I deserve this! You're trying to
enslave me! Where are my democratic rights? Give me freedom and
liberty!"
What the FreeBSD core members have *not* said on this list yet,
though anyone with half a wit would have got the message already is,
FreeBSD team: "Brett, if you don't like our food, don't eat here."
