No, the crux of FreeBSD's problem is the differing opinion on how serious we want to be taken. I for instance, do not want "the commercial world", (by which we in this case means "application producing companies") to take us anymore serious than we are able to be. Being realistic about our capacity and ability is far more important to everybody, than promising specific goals of dubious reachability. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
