This article was "discussed" after being quoted fully out-of-context on 
Slashdot shortly after it appeared.

Still, I think the original article is of a quite reasonable quality and 
certainly deserves to be mentioned under "In the media" on 
www.freebsd.org. Who do I need to contact for this?

Other valid questions that I often hear asked are of course "Why do you 
-still- use FreeBSD?" and "Why are you moving away from FreeBSD?". A 
discussion on the latter (and what to do about) it was conducted a bit 
out-of-place on arch@ starting last August:

Up to now I have not seen a clear opinion or point-of-view stated by the 
FreeBSD project "as-a-project", but I still see FreeBSD being phased out 
by diverse entities at a fast pace, in application areas where it 
traditionally was very strong (web, mail, etc.).

Kind regards,
