Hello,

PHK's "Why Bother?" article at DaemonNews.org [0] inspired me to write
a 7-point response at my blog [1].  I also thought about the official
FreeBSD project goals as described in the Handbook [2], and blogged a
post on that too, with comparisons to OpenBSD and NetBSD. [3]  I would
be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on these issues as replies
to this post.

Thank you to PHK for prompting these articles.

Sincerely,

Richard Bejtlich
