Does the FreeBSD community want this? Such a user hype as there is on linux brings much people who never think of reading a handbook etc. Additionally, writing pseudo-hacker-applications, as Winnuke or such a thing, that exploits a OS, that is only used by "few" people just won´t happen (almost), but will happen if many people use it (if you know/understand, what I try to express).
