See <http://kerneltrap.org/node/6497/print>; for the reason (from his point of view of course): |I've been a FreeBSD src committer for a bit more than |a year. I've been trying to maintain my ipw, iwi, ral, |and ural drivers inside the FreeBSD source tree. | |I left the FreeBSD project a few weeks ago. Some developers |started to commit code in my drivers without even asking for |my approval while others were publicly criticizing my work |in talks where I did not attend so I didn't have a chance |to reply. Because of this, I was no longer having fun working |in FreeBSD so I left. This is kind of sad since I still have |a lot of respect for most FreeBSD developers.
