Although I agree about the meaning of "eudaemonia", the link and
association with STABLE and/or CURRENT is at least far-fetched :P
Can we all move on and do better things that argue about demons,
daemons, evil or good spirits, the religious beliefs of everyone,
and other such not-really-beneficial-for-FreeBSD things?
If some of you want to help us improve FreeBSD, then stop arguing
about religious and spiritual things and prove you can do something
with a "real" impact on the current stateof FreeBSD, such as:
- Submit a fix for one of the existing bugs
- Improve an existing feature
- Add new features
- etc.
