   Indeed. Although my DEFCON 2/1 essay about that isn't going to get written soon, needs some more evidence than what Overstreet is saying about general issues in how Linux quality is today. And I'm already sufficiently convinced, we know how this game almost always goes (but see FreeBSD pulling back from the brink of Airport's Law), and Linux is just too important and prominent a target to avoid the Eye of Soros.

   And I should really have an alternative to point to. OpenBSD's toy nature for other than appliances due to its ancient filesystem has been covered, and I'm now giving FreeBSD a look.

   One big correction to my impression about its health is that its moving from what was "OpenZFS" back in the day to ZFS on Linux (ZoL) was not due to FreeBSD losing manpower as I guessed but to ZoL not contributing upstream while fixing many bugs (are we surprised?). And in 2020 per Wikipedia and matching my impressions as a happy Debian bookworm ZFS user ZoL and OpenZFS were merged, taking the name of the latter.
