MY 2 cents.

why worry about something so small.  There's so much 
more work to do everywhere and everything.  whatever is decided is 
decided, whoever decides it.  can't we just move on to other topics?

whoever has been deciding this part, why not let them continue to do 
so... FreeBSD needs to have lots more holes covered, lots more work 
... not worth going back and forth on these little issues.

whoever wants to get upset at me for saying this, it's okay.  I'm 
just glad that people have been working on things, trying to make it 
better.

THAT'S my 2 cents ...
