Congratulations to the WC/BSDI people for such a brilliant idea. It is too early to think of these things, but I (and surely many other BSD fans) am hoping that after BSDI merge their code, NetBSD and OpenBSD join (code and teams) with FreeBSD. Both NetBSD and OpenBSD are great operating systems, their code would complement very well the existing codebase and together we could focus better on even more interesting features. Some years ago this was unthinkable, today we are very near; I hope we don't lose this opportunity because of our selfishness. Sure, deciding what goes in a unified BSD system is a difficult task, especially when people have worked for decades on certain projects, but we have much to gain in this effort. So many brilliant hackers together, surely it would be the envy of any organization ! Pedro.
