FreeBSD is a complete operating system _derived_from_ the Berkeley
Software Distribution that used to be available from the now-defunct
UCB CSRG.  The "BSD" in FreeBSD acknowledges its roots.

And on-topic - yes, the timing sucks (especially since I'm one of the
people reading this on the Saturday commencing a long holiday period)
but I think the SO made the right call.  Hopefully, this was all that
was holding up 9.0-RELEASE and RE will be giving us a more welcome
Xmas present.
