As far as I can see OpenBSD has developed a "best of breed" reputation for security on a restricted set of hardware compared to NetBSD. They now occupy distinctly different niches, and there's room for both. If DragonFly BSD and FreeBSD both evolve in different directions away from the point at which the fork occurred, then there should be a place for both in the long term future landscape. (Note: I'm a system administrator who depends on FreeBSD to run the vast majority (9 out of 11) servers in my small company. The only development that I do is Database/Website stuff, so I'm not competent to comment with anything other than a "user" perspective on Kernel programming issues.)
