I completely agree. It's hard to say "FIRST should do X" or "FIRST should do Y" without knowing what sort of resources they have. The FMS isn't made by FIRST, possibly because they don't have the manpower to do it internally or they've decided that it's not worth their effort to create and maintain. Maybe FIRST doesn't have the sysadmins to beef up their web servers. So although there are lots of things I've love to see, I understand why they'd forgo doing some of them.
