Thank > you very much. I believe it is saying that ideally there is no difference between the code Netflix runs and the code provided by the FreeBSD project (i.e. "zero delta"). It also implies Netflix works with the FreeBSD project so that changes Netflix finds necessary for its business are moved upstream into FreeBSD code (and then removed from Netflix code). This way the FreeBSD project takes over future maintenance and regression testing, which frees resources at Netflix for other work. Dale -- Transparency with Trust
