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.
