No, *all* developers with or without commit bits in FreeBSD are free to
develop whatever they want.

Some of them care about datacenters, and thats *fine*, some of them care
about embedded, and thats *fine* and some of them care about laptops,
and thats *fine* and so on.

The FreeBSD releases contain exactly, and no more or no less, than what
people put into them, for whatever reason they put it in.

Now, can we drop this inane thread, and check the "At least one
Bikeshed" box on the 2019 TODO list, and get back to coding ?
