Given Matt Dillons past success at finding hardware bugs, maybe he should reallocate his development time to look for and find more hardware bugs.

$250k ain’t chump change

Nice trick mounting the new image (folks often forget tricks like that). Merging of /etc and other config files: maybe FreeBSDs mergemaster can help there?

G: I mainly follow the official installation and “make upgrade” processes to implement this tool, so there shouldn’t be any negatives. But I may miss something, and there are several things can be well improved. Anyway, tests, issue reports and pull requests are very appreciated.

I haven’t tried it of course, so it is speculation.
