Well, both sides commit fallacies in their arguments, so FreeBSD just 
keeps hanging out in the field in between where the work gets done.  The 
whole "create your own BSD" may seem like a cop out, but it is what 
works out for the best.  It took years of going back and forth, but Matt 
Dillon finally did just that, and despite anyone's hard feelings, I'm 
sure it will only benefit our much beloved BSD.  Maybe you can work with 
DragonFly on creating "The Ultimate Package Management System."

I say three cheers for FreeBSD, and let this thread die!  :-)
