leading up to the src and ports freeze, one thing stood out. My
freebsd-current mail folder had was larger than a Slashdot thread on
Microsoft acquiring RedHat. Was all of this patches to fix the 5.2-RELEASE
TODO items? Nope. But it was part of FreeBSD none-the-less. So, in
honor of those countless messages, I proudly present "Bikeshed," a song
sung to the tune of Devo's classic, "Whip it."
Paint that shed
Restart the same old thread
Flame that list
Now everyone is pissed
When 5.2-RELEASE comes along
You must bikeshed
We need a new commit song
Call it "Bikeshed"
The developer is wrong
You must bikeshed!
Dynamically link /sbin
You must bikeshed
Do the same to /bin
You must bikeshed
No one gets their way
When they bikeshed
I say bikeshed!

This INDEX-5 file contains 9724 ports (no, it's not prime).

Freeze! Send SIGKILL or die!
This page is unclaimed, it's alone and anonymous,
But written in the code it's got the marks of a genius.
I'm locking down this RAM, to share it with other RAM,
To share it with other RAM, on 10 CPUs at least.
I'm locking down this RAM, I know the rules of the game.
I'm able to rewrite them to realize our aim:
I'm locking down this RAM to make us rich and famous!
One: you lock the mutex,
Two: you cache some files,
Three: you download from the net,
and Four: you crash VM!
You crash VM!

This is the INDEX for 5.1, with 8691 ports.
And never brought to mind?
Should auld releases be forgot,
And ports of auld lang syne?
And ports of auld lang syne, my dear,
And ports of auld lang syne.
Should auld releases be forgot,
And ports of auld lang syne?
This is the INDEX for 5.0-RELEASE (barring last-minute changes), with 7883
ports. 7883 is a prime number!
ports built on 4.x and 5.0 have substantially different dependency lists
(mostly due to various system components being moved out of the base
system and into the ports tree, such as perl).
