Not going to happen, as long as these guys are in charge. Greg Lehey, the most elitist member of core, is one prime example of this. With all the politics involved, and the little progress made in critical areas like SMP in the last 6 months, I'm happy the DragonFlyBSD is making such fast progress since, by now, it's pretty obvious to most people that RELENG_5 is a dead end, and FreeBSD has lost most of it's appeal.
