If the FreeBSD project disbanded (for some unimaginable reason), then I guess I'd have to choose an OS based on one of the forks of FreeBSD code base that would undoubtedly be created as a reaction to that. About the only thing that could conceivably cause FreeBSD to disband would be some sort of deep schism and internecine conflict within the developer community. Even so, the usual course is for one of the schismatic groups to leave in a huff and start their own project, leaving the rump of the original to lick its wounds and carry on. Any damage is generally only a temporary thing: eventually it makes the whole community stronger due to cross fertilization between the various different branches.
