Big question: for what there are 4 BSD distributions (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD)?
4 groups of people, who do the same work in theirs distros (like SMP, VFS, pthreads, extending network stack, writing new drivers). 4 groups of people, who have the same problems (little time, little money, big list of work on to-do).
Should 4 BSD distros/groups of developers/communities be integrated into one general distribution (simply BSD)/community? Where all developers can do more in time. One distro, who can be easier to support by hardware producers (one unified BSD drivers, one unified BSD support contract).
