And what if he's more like Theo?

Don't get me wrong, it's quite clear Mr. de Raadt is an enthusiastic, 
committed and talented developer. But how many people here would really want 
to deal with him on a day-to-day basis?

I like the ideas over on DF, and I'll be trying it myself too. However, DF 
is to FBSD what OBSD is NBSD. It is possible that personalities may follow.

Well, I have plenty of ideas, just insufficient time. I'm not quite sure 
what one is meant to do in such a position.
