There are two ways to approach this issue. One is developer-centric and one is consumer-centric. (I currently see a 1, 2, or 3 brand system being discussed.) On the consumer-centric approach. I think that a single brand that tells consumers that this software will work with FreeBSD is adequate. I think that adding multiple brands would be counter productive. On the developers end of the stick. We can offer more incentive to vendors who go the extra step to make software work "out of the box" by providing and honorific. We want to attract developers. We want to attract consumers. We want to do both effectively. In any case, we need to figure out how many brands and what qualifications each brand must meet.
