As campaigning for FreeBSD was a topic recently, I'd like to note the
following: The above was the very reason that brought me from Linux
_to_ BSD. It feels much more grown up, much closer to the engine.
Professionals don't want to be padded by computers.

There's enough padding OSses out there already and GNU/Linux is becoming
worse and worse in that regard. Question is: Does FreeBSD want to go
down that drain as well? Then go and take care of Tom, Dick and Harry.

There's something I call "death by publicity" and a lot of high
quality people, organizations, things, ... went that path already.
