Except that the poll() that is currently in FreeBSD is a major PITA to use
because doesn't comply with the relevant standards, since it doesn't give
you any way to leave an empty lot using a negative descriptor.  I
submitted a PR with patch on this a month or two ago, but nothing has been
done with it yet AFAIK.

30000 hits isn't any significant volume of traffic.  On top of that, a lot
of the "production" part is on reliability and I'm not conviced that 3.0
is there yet.
