Just a comment here.  I think this last statement is bull.  Apple
has made lots of bugfixes to our code available in Darwin.  All it
takes is for someone to extract their lazy rear from a chair and
import those fixes.  We don't import our fixes into Darwin, Darwin
developers do that.  In the same way, it is rather absurd to
require Darwin developers to backport their fixes to FreeBSD.  That
is the job of FreeBSD developers.  As an example of how this can
work, see the recent fixes to smbfs that bp@ imported from Darwin.
