I suspect you have already answered this question when you acknowledged above that the *BSD developer community is small, & that they have to pick & choose what battles they can or will fight.

The *BSD developer community is small not least because it is split into Free/Net/Open/DragonFly/Midnight/bitrig and God knows what other teams.
