But it's not a Porsche 911, and Porsche does not promote 911s as SUVs.

Not dimissing it, just putting it into is proper perspective.

Promoting FreeBSD in the wrong way for the wrong purposes does a lot

it isn't suited, after hearing glowing endorsements by people who don't
tell the whole story, may be soured on the OS entirely and may badmouth
it for years.
