I'm not disinterested and neither are any of the rest of us who would love to start writing a "SAM" equivalent tool for FreeBSD but lack a reasonable set of presentation objects that will work both at system startup time (pre-X) and under X for those who prefer that environment. There are also quite a few folks who still don't run X, and on many laptops (like mine) it's so painful to use that I stick with the VTY interface anyway. This needs to be done before a lot of stuff which many people are *most definitely* interested in can take place, like a user-friendly setup dialog for ppp (or any of a hundred other things I could name).
