I just wanted to point out that it's not only FreeBSD patches or Luigi's 
patches that takes time to process in the bugtracker. There are many, 
many patches in there that has been waiting for months. We have over 250 
open issues in the tracker and it keeps growing. We need help testing, 
testing, testing patches and getting reviews so the committers can 
process them.

So if you want to help us move forward, spend some time testing patches 
in the bug tracker. http://bugs.digium.com

Thank you for your assistance!
