I don't like this as a brand. There has been the idea that any of these brands could go on a shrink wrap product. I don't think "half works" of "half broke" should go on anything with the name FreeBSD. FreeBSD goes out of it's way to dissuade people from running -current unless they are developers. Stuff that requires "painful" work is in the realm of developer's level of skill. We should approach neither vendors nor potential customers with developmental software.
