Probably not. I think your experience will be invaluable in determining
the requirements for a updated system. One questions crosses my mind:

Why was sendpr.cgi taken offline? I know that someone used it for spamming,
but in what way? NetBSD has a bug report form at
  <http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd> 
and it is easy to flood FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, so what happened?

Yepp, we should register a project on http://www.freebsd.org/projects/
and compile a list of desired features.
