I think you need to separate what gets posted by random people at
freebsd.org (which has literally hundreds of accounts on it) from
"official project opinion", something which was in no way demonstrated
by Mr. Obrien's somewhat intemperate comments on the mailing list (and
for which he will be duly spanked).

I think I speak for all of us when I say that we respect what NetBSD
has done in porting BSD to every platform under the sun (no pun
intended) and we'd never judge an entire architecture port simply
based on a new and experimental installer.

I also won't say that this will never happen again since we just don't
have that much control over our developers (nor, I believe, do any of
the various OS projects) but you may take it as read that none of the
people "in power" in FreeBSD have any desire to foster poor relations
by badmouthing the others; there's been far too much of that already.
Please accept our apologies for this latest outburst.

Regards,

- Jordan
