Bruce, I'm using your message as an example because you're good at
shrugging stuff like this off. :-)

I'm very concerned with the fact that this style of response has become
commonly accepted within the FreeBSD community.

Yes, we like patches.  Yes, in this case the only reason we don't have
what David requested is that nobody's done the work.

However, there's no need for sarcasm.  This response could easily be
reworded as

	Everyone agrees that better sysctl documentation would be great,
	but nobody has done the work to provide it.  If you'd like to do
	the work, check the -hackers archives, where you'll find a few
	opinions about how this should be done.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
