I see how it disagrees with you, but it's not dismissive. It's just asking
for better data to support your view given that in general when all systems
do X when Y happens, except FreeBSD, we generally make FreeBSD do X when Y
unless there's a compelling reason not to. I've not seen a compelling
reason not to yet.

Basically, why should this be different than our general pattern of being
in line with industry standards?
