I think you're mistaken.  Almost every one of BSDi/3.0 'features' are
kernel features, and the # of kernel hackers in FreeBSD is about the
same as in BSDi.  It's certainly a lot less than in something like
NetBSD, but it seems most of them spend all their time just trying to
keep their's kernel working (or get it working :) rather than doing lots
of new features.
