Perhaps the source of confusion here is that the "market" here is
DEVELOPERS -- who aren't really a market themselves but rather create
one.

How do you market FreeBSD to developers? Give them what developers want:
a stable platform, good development tools, and access to as many users as
possible through a SINGLE API and ABI.

A FreeBSD emulator, even more so than the Java Virtual Machine (an attempt
to do the same thing but at a higher level), does this.
