the strategy as far as this was concerned was outlined...I suggest
you read the interview with Bob and Jordan....

actually I think generally that this will improve the quality of some
stuff like SMP support, etc. We can hope. The verdict isn;t out yet,
however, I'm cautiously optimistic.

I've been using FreeBSD since 2.1.5, and I've met and talked to jkh enough
times to know that he cares what happens to the project. He also would not
be talking about this in such a positive light if it were not good. If
theres anyone I trust as far as this is concerned, its Jordan.
And this should even bring some of the people who were jkh's biggest
critics to some kind of happy medium, we've got some corporate backing
besides Walnut Creek and finally making news. This is a good thing in
itself.
Like I said, lets be cautiously optimistic about this. lets see what
happens.
remember if it gets really bad you *know* there will be a spinoff.
