I hoped that the over-the-top youtube video soundtrack would be a cue
:) I was sure there was a video with parts of the Matrix soundtrack
somewhere but I couldn't find it...

But still, it's a long distance between what developers want and what
users want. In this case, the best thing for non-developer users would
be not to compile the system themselves but use bsdupdate for
upgrading, so it makes sense to keep the build process tailored for
developers.

(on-topic: I've used FreeBSD since 4.2, I don't care what was in 4.4BSD).
