Noone complains that people stir things up every now and then.. at least
then the developers are reminded of the open PRs (or at least I hope
so). ;-)  Yet since developer time is a finite resource, I guess they
have to enforce a priority ordering (I wouldn't count this particular
bug as top priority, it can be easily circumvented by explicit
unmounting, and I wouldn't rely on the robustness of the ext2 filesystem
on FreeBSD anyways, and, isn't it read-only?  I've only used it so far
to copy stuff from it, and had been bitten by a 2Gig filesize limit then
but that might be fixed by now, so things do indeed move there.)
