This quota/nve problem sure stirred things up, i guess im partly to
blame, but anyway i think that it all boils down to is this; FreeBSD
users now demand stability and performance, as opposed to an influx of
new bells and whistles just before the release. FreeBSD already has many
great features which we are happy with, but they need to be refined now.
Stabilize and optimize the current code, then focus on new ideas. Yes,
new features are important to stay in the game, but they should not
arrive at the sacrifice of stability. I think FreeBSD should only be
released when known major bugs are worked out. A known broken release to
me and most new users is useless, lets not release simply for the sake
of numbering. I understand that there are problems, sometimes the users
are to blame, other the developer, but we all want a stable, functional
and thriving OS (i hope).
I wish i was a good Unix C programmer myself, so i could contribute in a
more direct way (always hated those damn pointers), but thats just not
the case. However i think i have contributed quite a bit in other areas,
that may not be visible to everyone. I even managed to get the first
(afaik) FreeBSD server in to FedEx, which they are very pleased with
btw. I don't mean to offend anyone, i fully understand that this is a
volunteer project and i appreciate everyones contribution, its just that
i think FreeBSD has some problems currently, and there are quite a few
people that are concerned. We all love and want FreeBSD to succeed.
