I encourage your efforts but I don't want to join -- I'm apathetic as
to whether FreeBSD is advocated or not.

As long as FreeBSD has open source code and attracts developers who
can read and write good code, I believe that in itself will sustain
FreeBSD to the extent which is useful for my purposes.

If FreeBSD grows to the extent of Linux due to active promotion and
advocacy, fine.  But others besides me will have to take that ball and
run with it.
