It is a widely desired feature that no one else was working on and unfortunately, did not see adequate review. FreeBSD largely trusts committers to seek out review and submit quality code. There are certainly downsides to this model, sometimes more impactful than others. Unfortunately, FreeBSD does not have the large body of employer-paid maintainers Linux has available to thoroughly code review every patch that lands.
