I think there are valid points to be made about 4.X vs 5.X vs 6.X (which is why, for the sake of being informative, I wrote an article about it). Performance was also discussed extensively at BSDCan, and a lot of work was done on improvements and ideas were discussed for the next steps to make (e.g.: actual work, not just talk). This work is continuing. But as long as you keep the above tone, I and everyone else who is actually doing the work to advance the project will just ignore you; because, frankly, there's too much work to do and in any case, life is just too short. (I intend to do just that from now on, so I will not be adding any more to this thread. You may have the "last word", if that kind of thing is important to you.) Finally, if you think Matt's design and/or ability to accept criticism is better than ours, then DragonFly is clearly a better choice for you. mcl
