The continued "what are you doing" is part of the problem. Its not reasonable to expect end users to support the OS as the chipset level. Thats why there is a core team. Tasks involving the inner guts of the O/S are beyond the capabilities of even the most talented of programmers without a significant learning curve. Its the kind of answer given by people with no answers. FreeBSD often uses its "centralized" decision making structure as the reason that they are superior. Yet when something doesn't work its someone else's problem. That, in a nutshell, is the problem. They beat their chests when applauded and point fingers when criticized.
