3. I'd actually rather use some some mythic OS that was the combination of DragonflyBSD + OpenBSD ... but since that doesn't exist, FreeBSD just nudges ahead of either Dfly standalone or OpenBSD standalone.

4.

- turning all services (except ssh) off, by default. OpenBSD does this.

- move all non-core things out of the base, like sendmail (now DMA, what a nice import from DFly btw). Minimum base (OpenBSD)

- the base should only have one way to do things (don’t have 3 different firewalls in base like today)

- better defaults, https://vez.mrsk.me/freebsd-defaults.html

- something like io-uring from Linux, (async-sendfile is similar but that’s only for sendfile)

- Reproducible Builds = Nix

- vkernels = dragonflybsd

5. License, combined user land + kernel packaging
