Arnaud,
the problem I see here is that as always you make strong and false
claims on bugs and missing support from FreeBSD kernel, but when
people points out what are you missing/misunderstanding, you turn the
whole thread into "FreeBSD is a relic" baby-whining, without replying
with real technical arguments and simply ignoring e-mail by freebsd
developers. I didn't see any response from you to several technical
e-mail in this threads and others (please don't force me to open
mailman and show exactly all the responses you have deliberately
ignored), spitting unrespectful, poison-weighted words on developers
of our project. You don't want to work cooperatively. You don't want
to build something with FreeBSD community. So why you keep insist on
sending e-mail like this? Don't you think it would be more productive
for you to stick with another project? (I have a couple of names into
my head that may be a good fit for you...).

I think it is very offensive that you mock our statement like that.
For many people reading this e-mail it has a true meaning, people like
you should really watch his mouth when speaking about FreeBSD.
