I'm certain that Jordan would be willing to let you do all the work
required to keep the differnt OS's libraries in sync with the FreeBSD
versions.  I suspect it would only amount to 4-6 hours/day on the avg.
guaranteeing there are no inconsitancies and making sure the changes
made don't break anything.

Those who 'agree' must also be willing to put in the time necessary to
make those agreements happen.
