Noone is stopping -anyone- from doing the Debian/ubuntu thing and
breaking off snapshots of FreeBSD to roll in a slightly different way.
This is happening with PCBSD, for example.

The project is doing what it can with what people are contributing. If
you'd like a distribution supported for longer then offer to help
maintain it. You may be surprised how helpful people get when you
offer to help. :0
