FreeBSD is not a top-down organization, it is bottom-up. In terms of getting new functionality in, it is not concepts such as "leadership" and "direction" that are important, it is "volunteers" and "time" and "determination". Translation: this won't happen until and unless one or more volunteers step up and put their time into it. mcl
