Written by perhaps the most elitist member of -core.

The fact is that many users, system administrators, and occasional
contributors "live and sleep FreeBSD 24 hours a day" even though
they're not on -core. (They don't have time to be.)

And just because they were elected (by a minority of the community!)
they automatically know what they're doing and are benevolent. Just 
like some politicians I could name.
