I think for a statement like that to have any value, it would need to be backed up by a commercial organization. For that, Walnut Creek CDROM has been advertising that FreeBSD is Y2K compliant since at least last fall when it was stated on the Comdex show banners. The closest I can get to the statement you are asking for is "We believe, but cannot guarantee, that FreeBSD is Y2K compliant. We've spent a significant amount of time verifying this to be the case, but it is possible that something may have been overlooked. If a Y2K bug is found in the future, we will attempt to fix it as soon as possible". -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
