Depends..what if each distributor starts putting in their own "enhancements"
and different utilities and whatnot, a la Linux, to the point where the
different distributions aren't compatible anymore?  That would be BAD. :)
That's what I really like about FreeBSD, there's one standard distro with the
same setup and utilities installed everywhere.

I do think it's important to disentangle FreeBSD from Walnut Creek, though.
