A shame, really.
I fully agree on this. The official OS of my XT is ms-dos 3.21 but the 6.22 works perfectly, and twice as fast as freedos. Back in 2006, the development of FreeDOS was really about correctness and compatibility with ms-dos, not about "wow we could make a 64 bits version of this so I can work in text mode on my shiny Quad-core i7 with latest GTX !"
