I do not want to be demoralizing, nor to hurt anyone. I am also thankfull to all developers. But the argumenentation used here does not convince and makes me think about the future of FreeBSD. OK, for putting LUA was invested many many hours, the FORTH was done in 5 minutes and ist worst quality. But the booting and installation problems, that I had to solve in a tricky way and with additional hardware, began with the LUA loader, and are solved putting an old loader, as somenone in this thread noted. And how many users did need lua there (and everywhere, also in the soup)? The last beat would be to remove the forth loader from the distribution, then a solution of the problems will become much more difficult.
