"Only the penitent men will pass..."
I wonder how many brave souls FreeBSD is putting off at the moment. It literally ships with broken "GUI experience" for multiple months. I, honestly, don't understand this decision to wait until the EOL of 12.0. Sometimes we boast about it being a very dependable and reliable system, sometimes we prefer to pretend FreeBSD has nothing to do with the ports collection, or, at least, it may appear so to the newcomers.
