I am a regular user of FreeBSD since 2.2.8. "Usability" isn't a
on-or-off thing. I don't claim something to be "unusable" because one
single feature isn't present, but it's the notion of "more usable" or
"less usable" that counts. Putting up the beastie menu with or without
the beastie does make FreeBSD more usable in my case. What is wrong
for being not wanting to remember exact arcane loader commands when
one can just press '2' to boot without acpi?
