Not so. However, I refuse to be "trolled" by those who say "you haven't
given any facts," conveniently ignoring that I have.

Jordan, I could just as well dismiss YOUR protestations as "aimless
whining" if my goal were to attempt to trivialize and/or end the
discussion with nothing resolved. Part of my purpose here
is to see whether Walnut Creek actually WILL get off its duff and
do something, or if the investment must come from without and be
financed by the sale of an alternative release of the software.
This would hurt your employer, but unless things turn around, it may
be the ONLY way to prevent FreeBSD from sinking into obscurity.
