That's not the point, I am using FreeBSD 'cause I like it. And I like it as
it is. And it's very good as it is. If I had to patch it in a hundred places,
I wouldn't like it that much...

FreeBSD grows the way its users want. At least this what I think. That,
I think is the big difference from Linux

Giorgos gave a solution, a new switch that will do just that.
