Remember Matt was also the only one that gave a thorough and timely review for Jeff's new scheduler framework (including many bugfixes and patches!!!). That's but one of many helpful peer reviews that he has consistently done. I think FreeBSD has a tendency to fall into a "gentlemen's" club mode where we are all supposed to act like we are sitting in an elegant house drinking tea and have to speak in low monotomous tones. It's far from it and contention very often is productive! The userbase certainly should at least know the motivations and facts behind the latest yank of Matt's commit bit.
