Because the people who support FreeBSD 6.2 are also knee-deep in major 
projects of their own!?  We try try to not introduce regressions as we 
move forward supporting new features and hardware, but unless people put 
in some effort of their own helping us to test ...

You obviously did not put in any effort of your own so why would you 
expect us to do the work for you?  Unless you can provide "*EXACT*" bug 
reports and show willingness to help debugging them, there really is not 
much point in this thread.
