I am eager to see what you can do with DFBSD.  I really, truly, am.  Until
then, trolling the FreeBSD mailing lists with uninformed statements about
5.x and propaganda about DFBSD doesn't really mean a whole lot, unless you
are looking for new recruits to your camp.  In any case, you've made your
point on a nearly daily basis that 5.x is inferior to what DFBSD will be,
and that you don't have much knowledge or care about 5.x anyways.  So
please, go do what you do best and make DFBSD the envy of the BSD world.
I'll be first in line to pat you on the back when you succeed.
