This is, I think, a salient question. I'm not a dev, but when selecting an OS one of the things I look for is=20 <whatever OS> dogfooding it (for example, mail services) Dogfooding it means belief in the product. if the authors of the product don't dogfood then why should I trust them? For this reason, even projects that I'd like to support, like for example hardenedbsd, even though i agree with their philosophy, they don't dogfood their mailing list. How can I take seriously a distro purporting to be hot on security yet their mailing list is on=20 flipping gmail, I ask you. If they were running their ml on hardenedbsd OS I'd be more trusting as they're essentially "putting their money=20 where their mouth is". But they're not. That's not dissing hardenedbsd per se. I agree with their objectives. But it gives me pause. Contrast with openbsd, where as far as I'm aware is all running on openbsd OS. I don't know fully about freebsd, but I think=20 it's the same deal. It's a trust thing. --=20 J. --Hp4AH5+dUxCzFj3l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE8n3tWhxW11Ccvv9/s8o7QhFzNAUFAmJPYYwACgkQs8o7QhFz NAWKAA//RqmPUbw6c/e9mR0c+DKmb7SJXnmCT12Px8RQiGTT5KJkQCm6irF5Cqz1 SXCpX6KsRG2Fk8aMQ1YBpKYX4VEwACpwLQlfc2ACn6y1ZcKzvQToqi8z0Zunj0F2 yVrZ6HPGORZcaSlThnGGiwlTKU1IKTY3GrOoDAJ9OwpmuYGJifNyVTrFrnRekp57 lNPOzcgOgZ6FkUNVVDzWYYZ5WIiLyZ8wRwQKEGOtamzSo+uvIU5ZQIrDTlQBY247 E0mqRP/zCf29/r/Ry+CiiGzkW9i30MIkS/BYkErcMnrB+lDbjN4rmz18OjDtn3sd UnnuVE/duFTJypJjiJNk11x6itovhj6O1KnO3geZ+97NTQl+3Ow0xp7gFVqOjTgb aYl4DstCx+U5xsN4vA9e4xoIPFJNX8vnQDpAEKKBEGzW2bqu5dbowJnsX2ZJryON CzTVsY5itMDzgdrWujRS5SAr/COAfkTXfGCqM0YhXexIuxdwh2oN4cHk36bsbf1C GoS5mbggbcYSp8zjCiSXimJEn8mCua23mgabhTZm+HHbUi2A95mwsz1CaKHqqKZF MNT9P6+yKeyhNhqjD6ovjCaidIZ/rOEACQR0FFlOHlFLhMvNrZRxDL4Ll8CRlfE7 AyOpGA93li9+uHfeEENcLDtW/B6qhjHU2Gqg6yVl95iytR7LuPA= =Osty -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Hp4AH5+dUxCzFj3l--
