Not really, this guy is kinda missing the point of FreeBSD - which is stability not security. Many of these problems are overstated or non-issues for desktop systems. If you do have a need for any of the changes this guy is talking about, then you can make the change. If you just want max security, OpenBSD is a thing. But this list of complaints probably isn't much worse than many linux distros.

I don't see the security concerns regarding package tools being non-issues, nor the weirdness regarding OpenSSH patches.
