What would you like to see over the next few FreeBSD versions?

The Bumblebee thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23054506 and https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/issues/123

That's kind-of why I like 'quoting' stuff

I would like to see a option in the FreeBSD installer how much disk space a new zfs install can take. Say I have a 1 TB disk and tell zfs use only half of it.
Can be easy done with ufs but zfs want all of the space.

And yes I know it can be done manually but why the hassle. Just tell the installer use amount x of space and no more.

Just something I would like to see.

If it were a little easier to contribute, then that could be a change we could perhaps make, raise a PR, and have it incorporated.

In that vein, I have scripts to build my entire system from scratch so I could do a clean install and have everything ready to go. I wish that were incorporated into the main installer so that others could contribute and make the installation process better. The installation could be less painful, encourage others to tinker around with FreeBSD more, and help others recover from disaster more quickly including cyber attacks.
