+      <heading>How many FreeBSD hackers does it take to change a lightbulb?</heading>
 
+      <p>One thousand, one hundred and seventy-two:
+
+      <p>Twenty-three to complain to -current about the lights being
+      out;
+
+      <p>Four to claim that it is a configuration problem, and that
+      such matters really belong on -questions;
+
+      <p>Three to submit PRs about it, one of which is misfiled under
+      doc and consists only of "it's dark";
+
+      <p>One to commit an untested lightbulb which breaks buildworld,
+      then back it out five minutes later;
+
+      <p>Eight to flame the PR originators for not including patches
+      in their PRs;
+
+      <p>Five to complain about buildworld being broken;
+
+      <p>Thirty-one to answer that it works for them, and they must
+      have cvsupped at a bad time;
+
+      <p>One to post a patch for a new lightbulb to -hackers;
+
+      <p>One to complain that he had patches for this three years ago,
+      but when he sent them to -current they were just ignored, and he
+      has had bad experiences with the PR system; besides, the
+      proposed new lightbulb is non-reflexive;
+
+      <p>Thirty-seven to scream that lightbulbs do not belong in the
+      base system, that committers have no right to do things like
+      this without consulting the Community, and WHAT IS -CORE DOING
+      ABOUT IT!?
+
+      <p>Two hundred to complain about the color of the bicycle shed;
+
+      <p>Three to point out that the patch breaks style(9);
+
+      <p>Seventeen to complain that the proposed new lightbulb is
+      under GPL;
+
+      <p>Five hundred and eighty-six to engage in a flame war about
+      the comparative advantages of the GPL, the BSD license, the MIT
+      license, the NPL, and the personal hygiene of unnamed FSF
+      founders;
+
+      <p>Seven to move various portions of the thread to -chat and
+      -advocacy;
+
+      <p>One to commit the suggested lightbulb, even though it shines
+      dimmer than the old one;
+
+      <p>Two to back it out with a furious flame of a commit message,
+      arguing that FreeBSD is better off in the dark than with a dim
+      lightbulb;
+
+      <p>Forty-six to argue vociferously about the backing out of the
+      dim lightbulb and demanding a statement from -core;
+
+      <p>Eleven to request a smaller lightbulb so it will fit their
+      Tamagotchi if we ever decide to port FreeBSD to that platform;
+
+      <p>Seventy-three to complain about the SNR on -hackers and -chat
+      and unsubscribe in protest;
+
+      <p>Thirteen to post "unsubscribe", "How do I unsubscribe?", or
+      "Please remove me from the list", followed by the usual footer;
+
+      <p>One to commit a working lightbulb while everybody is too busy
+      flaming everybody else to notice;
+
+      <p>Thirty-one to point out that the new lightbulb would shine
+      0.364% brighter if compiled with TenDRA (although it will have
+      to be reshaped into a cube), and that FreeBSD should therefore
+      switch to TenDRA instead of EGCS;
+
+      <p>One to complain that the new lightbulb lacks fairings;
+
+      <p>Nine (including the PR originators) to ask "what is MFC?";
+
+      <p>Fifty-seven to complain about the lights being out two weeks
+      after the bulb has been changed.
