I'm so much on the cliff on this, whilst they should focus it's becoming more painful by the year to run stuff on FreeBSD since there is so may Linux:isms in most opensource projects today that it's almost as hard to compile on FreeBSD as it was to compile on Windows 20 years ago.

Only a month or two back I gave up on compiling Samba myself (mostly worked w/o issues in the past just with ./configure && make), relying on package/ports instead.

Modern dotnet versions are finally available (but the compilation instructions looked headache inducing), node.js filesystem watching seems broken/nonexistant (using webpack -w i had to enable some polling mode).

I love FreeBSD but Linux has EEE'd the OSS ecosystem. (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish)

Kind of, on embedded space, other kernels and FOSS operating systems are shaping up, none of them using GPL derived licenses.
