I'll drop the thread, but you're missing the point. The problem is that
maintaining production FreeBSD systems is still far too time-consuming 
and awkward. It's a security issue AND a usability issue. The project
as a whole really needs to get a handle on this issue. 

That's all I'll say for now; feel free to flame me if you'd like.
