Although we do allow requests for features to be submitted to GNATS, in practice they are hardly ever acted on. We have a sufficient backlog of things that you can technically consider "problem reports" to keep us busy for years :-) My own priorities are to bring attention to: - things that affect data integrity - regressions introduced in new versions - various bugs in the kernel - various bugs in userland There are a considerable backlog of the above (we have a lot more users than we do developers :-) ) What I consider secondary problems: - problems installing FreeBSD in the first place - non-supported devices We do have a team of bugbusters willing to help people with problems installing, which has helped to keep the count down to some degree. However, the 'requests' generally do not get handled -- it takes a developer wanting to solve a problem that affects him or her before things get committed. mcl
