Herb is a NetBSD developer, FYI and doesn't speak for anything but
himself if I judge him correctly.

However, go back and re-read your article.  Although your intent may not
have been to 'flame', the tone of the article made it sound like that
the FreeBSD folks didn't care and were spending our time on things that
were unimportant.  The fact of the matter is that to the FreeBSD folks
ibsc2 emulatin is more important than MSDOS FS support.  That isn't
going to change, although it is hoped that the new msdosfs code should
be more stable than the pcfs code in 1.1.
