The "FreeBSD community" is a wide and diverse group, and while a segment of that community might say "Go away, we don't want to know", I'm sure other segments will be interested. By making this work a port you make it *much* easier for people to experiment with your work, without any of the obstacles you would face if you wanted to get it integrated in to the system immediately.
