There were developers in the community for whom seeing people using their code was the priority goal. This led to them building a system "for users". I see a lot of them working on OSX these days - it's clearly the most popular BSD-based OS. And Apple has better stock options that the FreeBSD Foundation. Not that the RE's aren't doing good work now. It's just that the goals seemed to have changed priority, resulting in reactions like this thread. <mike
