Not going to happen, as long as these guys are in charge. Greg Lehey, the 
most elitist member of core, is one prime example of this. With all the
politics 
involved, and the little progress made in critical areas like SMP in the
last 6
months, I'm happy the DragonFlyBSD is making such fast progress since, by
now, it's 
pretty obvious to most people that RELENG_5 is a dead end, and FreeBSD
has lost most
of it's appeal.
