Back in the day, around FreeBSD 2.2.8, it was a very nice
operating system. However, when RELENG_5 was branched, a
lot of wrong decisions were made, most of them by people
with zero clue about how to implement proper SMP (e.g. John
Baldwin). Matt Dillon tried to fix the situation, but all he
got in response was a commit bit suspension, which later
lead to his expulsion (1)

You can thank assholes like: Poul-Henning Kamp
(POT, KETTLE, BLACK), Greg Lehey, Dag-Erling Smorgrav,
Mark Murray and Bill Fumerola for kicking him out and making
sure that, thanks to overengineering, RELENG_5 will never work.
