Well, I have seen little evidence of 1.  2 _can_ be relevant in an
architectural discussion.  3 may or may not be relevant - it depends
whether FreeBSD can make use of the work or not.

I agree with Julian that you are being unnecessarily provocative.
IMHO, Matt has made a positive contribution to this thread.  Rather
than quoting him out of context, how about you take a chill pill and
consider what benefits FreeBSD can gain by reusing work done by other
free Unices.
