Volunteer labor is also, not so coincidently, what got Linux to where it is today in all the areas that you and Brett are crying over. It's not Red Hat's doing - they're just surfing the top of the wave and trying to make it look as if they're actually steering it. Poppycock.
They're not just surfing. They're making a big investment of their own.
You have a choice. As I have said so many times now that it must be becoming a litany, if you want to do FreeBSD a whole bunch of good for very little comparative cost, go write a book. Or a magazine article. Or even a 10 page self-help guide (which frequently grow into books anyway). You don't need anyone's help or buy-in or official blessing to do any of that....
Sorry, but I've been there and done that. I've written plenty of magazine articles and am working on a book, but neither will do anything significant to stop the accelerating trend. Marketing and investment will.
Now, who's gonna do it? If Walnut Creek won't, must we have a schism? I'd sure rather not.
