Just a stupid comment, but ... Linux is one kernel, multiple distributions 
... BSD is, what, 4 kernels now?  If we worked more together instead of as 
seperate camps, it might make things a bit easier, no?

Put together a *BSD "core" ... representative from each camp and try and 
steer the *kernel* itself towards a more common BSD ...
