   I'd say that is stretching the truth just a bit too much. You might be able
to argue that being the case with NetBSD (cgd's arguments with Bill being well
known and public), but "personality" conflicts with Bill were certainly not
what FreeBSD grew out of. In fact, we gave Bill every last chance to lead and
he chose not to, but we certainly didn't form in spite of him or due to any
argument with him.
