"[...] former OpenBSD developer Jason Dickson mentions that when 
a new BSD variant is created, they have to start from the broken, 
old and outdated 4.4BSD code as including code from other BSDs 
often leads to law suits and death threats."

And earlier he writes

"[...] The problem appears when USBs are removed without 
unmounting them first. The result is a kernel panic. [...] 
FreeBSD mailing lists even ban people who dare mention about it."

This gives you the impression that the BSD community is fairly 
narrow-minded (to put it mildly) and does not tolerate any 
criticism.

Anyway, I'll stick to Arch for now as we use Linux at work too 
and Linux seems to be more up-to-date (or "bleeding edge") than 
the BSDs ... and the name "pacman" for the package manager is 
just brilliant, I wonder why no-one else ever came up with this 
pun.
