Its important to me that people keep using FreeBSD. Numbers are important. To that end I'm happy for developers to keep working hardest on the parts of FreeBSD they find most rewarding. Something's got to give and you can't stop it by creating more beaurocracy and red tape. Another thing I think is important is for new hardware to be perpetually sent to those who can implement drivers and create patches. I don't feel the FreeBSD foundation is doing enough in that regard. Not talking about big ticket items like server farms, just new motherboards every time a new CPU or chipset is released. - Andrew
