Let's accept that this is true for the sake of the argument. Still, the kFreeBSD ports are not FreeBSD. They have 106 systems reporting to popcon, compared to 120000 Linux systems just for amd64 and i386. With such a users base you do not dictate developement of an OS which has 1000 times more users: you do your best to not stand in the way if you want a future. I object to this political correctness bullshit: while operating systems may be born equal, their real world usage matters and Linux is more important than kFreeBSD. > The kFreeBSD port has some features over Linux that makes it an > interesting option for some use cases, such as ZFS, jails, and more. Which, which very good approximation, nobody uses. And let's not forget that there has been no real stable release yet. > So far, I haven't seen any features in systemd that outweigh those.
