What attitude?  Run what works, not what I'd like to work but won't?

I want you to understand that I run FreeBSD on the most sacred of
machines:  my personal desktop.  I like FreeBSD, I run FreeBSD, but it
just isn't appropriate at this time to run Asterisk on FreeBSD.  There
are too many pieces that are missing.  The newest release contains
a lot more support for FreeBSD, but in my own personal opinion as
a FreeBSD user, Asterisk just isn't ready to be run on FreeBSD for
anything but the most narrow of purposes.

And before you ask, so I'm not going to neglect adding other features
to Asterisk, just so I can spend my development time trying to make
FreeBSD work.
