community decreases. It is a pity that many developers of FreeBSD have

as a whole it already absolutely small small groups of people.
And do you feel this will be the end of FreeBSD?
I doubt that *BSD will *end*, but at which point does lack of usage make
an OS irrelevant?
1) Is it used in production? If so does it serve a critical role?
2) What commercial support options are available? (Also what popular
commercial/proprietary software are available )
3) How well is it keeping pace with existing sw and hw technologies?
4) How focused and productive is the development community?
I have some personal views on the above, but I consider *BSD severely
lacking in a few areas. (No I can't personally help and only kick these
questions off from the sidelines)
Software typically exists to solve a problem. What problem is *BSD
trying to solve? If something serves a purpose then there should be no
denying it's future relevance.
