I'm in sync with your opinion but speaking from the point of view of a programmer which use FreeBSD i would like to say that enforcing (or at least try to) good understanding of issues and good programming practice is a good thing(TM), so if FreeBSD as an O.S. and as a community try to enforce me to have good programming attitudes i really would like to follow that. FWIW what have made me switched my whole job to FreBSD six years ago was exactly the good practices enforced in FreeBSD itself. Regards -- Massimo.run();
