They have communicated why they didn't release such a driver, and my understanding is that most or all of those shortcomings have been remedied in 8 making discussion of a new amd64 binary possible now. It is also my understanding FreeBSD in one form or another has attempted to bridge to gap with adobe, and haven't received feedback and are basically ignored. Disdain could easily be interpreted by such a response. I'm unclear as to what you expect FreeBSD to do in such a situation. -- Adam Vande More
