    and even it(perl) was been taken out now.


    This seems to make it harder to install/use the system. I understand there's a bunch of politics involved in making the main distrubution, but whouldn't FBSD have a better chance of wide adoption if there was at least one other distro that was based on efficiency rather than politics?
