We do sorta have one, it's in the kernel:
options         COMPAT_43               # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THI=
S!]
options         COMPAT_FREEBSD4         # Compatible with FreeBSD4
options         COMPAT_FREEBSD5         # Compatible with FreeBSD5

Who's Reality? And It's not really a Linux envy thing (I'd be using a
Linux distro then and we'd never had this chat) but an appreciation of
what the Linux kernel could do (for BSD).
