Scott Long is a core team member, but nonetheless decided that the boot menu wasn't worth the fight. Those postings are 8 months old. If there has been further discussion, obviously you're unaware of them, as I am (but I don't read the lists much anymore). You're certainly aware that a lot of FreeBSD people will not countenance the idea. Rahul
