Hello everybdody

I read an interview of Linus Torvald made by Linux Magazine. In that interv=
iew Linus mentioned the following:

"On the other hand, no, Linux does not have that stupid notion of having to=
tally separate kernel development for different issues. If you want a secur=
e BSD, you get OpenBSD; if you want a usable BSD, you get FreeBSD; and if y=
ou want BSD on other architectures, you get NetBSD. That___s just idiotic, =
to have different teams worry about different things."

I dont want to critize what Linus stated above. However, I find a very vali=
d point when he says that every BSD version team is woking in different dir=
ections.

My question is this:

Why not all three teams work together for just one BSD version?=20

At the moment there are three groups of developers and users working in the=
 same issues. I think if we should all work together and create well rounde=
d BSD version for us users and corporate clients. Imagine a BSD version tha=
t is portable (NetBSD), that is very secured (OpenBSD) and that is a good D=
estop solution (FreeBSD).
