That depends on your perspective.

If you're comfortable installing your own tarballs and don't need the
help from a ports collection, I would not call BSD/OS "behind."  In my
experience, the BSD/OS core is more robust and faster.

There are numerous features in BSD/OS not found in FreeBSD.  Multilink
PPP, token-ring drivers, SDL T1 card support (which is excellent), and
others I'm probably forgetting at the moment.

And softupdates have been very stable in BSD/OS for some time now.
