This information is publicly available if you want to do the research.

The latter is an entirely different case from the former, and you've been
claiming core has done the former.  This, and the above, tell me that
you're not interested in checking your facts before making an accusation.
(And, as well, that you do not even understand the role the core plays
in the project.  Hint: it is not primarily technical in nature.)

Because of this, it's more much difficult for me to give your technical
arguments as much credence as I would otherwise.

As a final observation, FreeBSD is rarely advanced by postings of the
form 'FreeBSD must do XYZ'.  This is primarily because volunteers work on
whatever they feel interested in doing with their free time, rather than
the priorities anyone else sets for them.

But your mileage may vary.
