I'm mildly interested in what you consider these to be. Can we fix these problems? Are they problems, or choices with long term payoffs rather than immediate. Does FreeBSD want a larger userbase, afterall... With the good, comes the bad. Rather than defending your yet to be shared thoughts. Please discuss, with me if noone else, just what we can do. And, I suggest you ignore the overly negative feedback, and consider only the constructive feedback. Perhaps one of the user groups could use your thoughts to help spread it throughout their area as a test base. If it accomplishes what is wanted, then the project is expanded. If not, it's confined to that area or stopped should the results be negative. I make the assumption your plan is feasible.
