What if it can accomplish the same or more by simply reorganizing what 
it's already doing? I completely understand the apparent situation - if 
you look at it from all angles it appears to be no different than that 
of the people apposed to the recent scheduling changes FreeBSD has made. 
There's a limited amount of people and time to do everything.

Again IMHO the only message coming across here is either do it yourself 
or keep your mouth shut. The other side of the coin here is - what's to 
say the FreeBSD project requires what I can offer? Granted it's been 
sometime since I've browsed the entire FreeBSD.org site but last I 
checked there wasn't an area devoted to the needs of the project.

Furthermore, just because someone isn't providing assistance doesn't 
mean that their concerns should go unheard. It's quite possible what was 
proposed is an awful idea and if it is so be it. But it would appear as 
though it wasn't even considered.
