We don't have to "pretend", because Robert Watson,  has outlined the 
issues with 5.x networking on this list, and he is in a position to know.

The continued "what are you doing" is part of the problem. Its not reasonable
to expect end users to support the OS as the chipset level. Thats why there
is a core team. Tasks involving the inner guts of the O/S are beyond
the capabilities of even the most talented of programmers without a 
significant
learning curve. Its the kind of answer given by people with no answers.

FreeBSD often uses its "centralized" decision making structure as the reason
that they are superior. Yet when something doesn't work its someone else's 
problem. That, in a nutshell, is the problem. They beat their chests when 
applauded and point fingers when criticized.
