Absolutely nothing prevents you from shutting up and coding something
better, so why dont you ?

That would be a much more productive use of you time than standing
on a soapbox yelling demands of other people, over which you have
neither sway no authority.

If you are right in your claims, you will out-compete pkgbase in no time.

And should you fail, the rest of us will still have pkgbase, which
is clearly better than freebsd-update.

Clearly a win-win sitution!
