An Open Letter to the FreeBSD Foundation, Core Team, Committers, and Community
Agreed.
I don't think the PR reviewer is calling the author in the example, and provided useful info, pointing out the relevant example.
Also, the author notes:
> The very first comment in the thread from a reviewer was simply only one word: “Why?” - That’s it, just one word. Why did I do this? Why work with such old hardware? Why is the sky blue? How the hell am I to know the context of what they’re referring to when asking a one-worded question?
Its clear from https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/pull/189#discussion... that the author is asking why is this line needed, something a PR author should always be able to justify.

I want to move from linux to bsd
Say you really want to pin to Apache 2.5.54. Create a new empty repo, add a www/apache24 dir, and copy the files from that version of the ports tree into it.

chromium disappeared from packages?
As for announcements: how would this information be delivered to you? :) Major breakages that impact users are expected to tracked in Ports (not pkgs) through review of /usr/ports/CHANGES and /usr/ports/UPDATING. If a port gets renamed (moved), you'll find it mentioned there, or possibly in /usr/ports/MOVED (not human-readable). You can view those on the GitHub mirror if you wish, since not everyone builds from Ports: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports
- How quickly is the port tree updated from freshports?

How to bypass public IP and NAT
Firmware's like Asuswrt-Merlin or OpenWRT can support dynamic-dns, or you can do like I do and run something like OPNsense in an x86 VM with a NIC passed through, or buy an inexpensive firewall appliance (up to 500mbps/1gbps/10gbps).

Stop ISP from getting into my Router
The easiest solution is to buy your own router, set it up, disable the router functionality on the Fritzbox 7590 and plug your router into it. It'll be cheaper and easier than a Cisco Firewall, but if you want to go the dedicated firewall route then I would recommenced OPNsense

OpenBSD Innovations
BSDs may not have a significant presence on desktops, but they're well known in the networking world for their reliability. They also were the foundation used to build OSes for specific applications. OpnSense and XigmaNAS, for example, are two excellent FreeBSD based applications aimed at firewalling/security and NAS/services.
