This is not really true - you can always use the field as a hint to
wannabee hackers and patch submitters as to what they should be spending
their time on. And while nothing can make sure they actually spend time on
those and not other things (whetever related to FreeBSD at all or not) ,
its better than a mass of largely uncategorized bugs.
