This is definitely an area of concern, and I *am* glad that you're
doing boundary testing ;-)

The biggest obstacles to adoption in the enterprise aren't technical,
however.  It's all about mind share,  and IT staff tolerate all

FreeBSD's sales and marketing force is -- er -- small.  What might
help us get out of the dedicated hobbyist market is capital.
