New Coke was just a way for them to change over from using solid sugar to using liquid high fructose corn syrup, which was cheaper, and for which the handling equipment has a much higher MTBF. I think this probably means two things: 1) When people go back to drawing the "old chuck", FreeBSD will have a higher MTBF. 2) When people go back to drawing the "old chuck", they will be able to use less expensive red markers, and people will be so happy about getting the "old chuck" back, they won't notice the slightly different color.
