Note that this mailing list is for discussing ways to advocate
("promote") FreeBSD.  It is not like an advocacy newsgroup in
the land of usenet, where all heated debates are banished to.

This particular topic is probably better suited to freebsd-chat.
Maybe that's not right either, and it's probably not fair for
me to suggest that since I don't follow freebsd-chat...  :-)
