And every time I hear them I tell them, "Well tell the FreeBSD Community." And they ask how. So I searched on the FreeBSD website and I could not find how one would be able to submit a Request for Enhancement. Why not create a RFE database similar to the Bug Buster and implement this along side. This way the FreeBSD community can see what the users and companies want FreeBSD to do for them. Sometimes a users may have a very creative idea but does not posses the skills required to implement the solution. Now, if this implemented somehow already, I would really appreciate a pointer to the correct location so that I can update others and myself. Or if this is not the coorect mailing list, please suggest which mailing list I should send this to.

E.g. I've sent a PR with a patch to implement EXTPORTSDIR macro in /usr/src/release/Makefile.
