 I know of no patches in development.
 
 Although we do allow requests for features to be submitted to GNATS,
 in practice they are hardly ever acted on.  We have a sufficient
 backlog of things that you can technically consider "problem reports"
 to keep us busy for years :-)
 
 My own priorities are to bring attention to:
 
  - things that affect data integrity
  - regressions introduced in new versions
  - various bugs in the kernel
  - various bugs in userland
 
 There are a considerable backlog of the above (we have a lot more users
 than we do developers :-) )
 
 What I consider secondary problems:
 
  - problems installing FreeBSD in the first place
  - non-supported devices
 
 We do have a team of bugbusters willing to help people with problems
 installing, which has helped to keep the count down to some degree.
 However, the 'requests' generally do not get handled -- it takes a
 developer wanting to solve a problem that affects him or her before
 things get committed.
