At least the polls show that there's a number of users interested in using Freetrack in future games, I consider that a worthwhile effort. For my own part I've just purchased ArmA II on budget, and can honestly say I would have purchased it earlier if Freetrack support was officially supported.
Mostly I'm disappointed to read that some Freetrack users were abusive / demanding. It's not as if Freetrack support was an advertised feature of the product. Very disappointing.
