I was pretty sure you liked FreeBSD, but there's this attitude developing where people will bring up stuff for the first time as an example of why something doesn't work in a totally non-technical discussion, deeply hidden from a large number of the eyes that can probably help out. I was just suggesting that we should acknowledge it, and do something about it. If there's a bug, report it. That's the best way to improve _your_ operating system if you're unable to hack away at it and fix it. Actually, you'll probably have to file a PR to get your patch in anyway, so even if you can hack a fix, report it.
