It's really the focus. FreeBSD operates a little closer to the cathedral model where they're pickier, more deliberate, and more consistent. Linux takes in about anything to maximize features and development pace. Probably the reason FreeBSD has higher quality in code. Just different priorities.

Of course, I watch these communities from a distance. I'm not in the trenches over there. So, I could be way off. :)
