I do not :)

Linux and even more so, us, needs FreeBSD and the other BSDs. IMHO Linux, at the moment, seems to be heading to Corporate Domination and is slowly becoming a Windows type Clone. Plus with Wayland being Linux only and its largest funder is Red Hat, it seems to be trying to eliminate BSD.

The *BSDs right now is a option for people who want an OS to work the way they would like it to, not a way a Company like Red Hat/IBM wants it to be.

So great for FreeBSD, and the way the BSDs operate, developments will cross-pollinate the other BSDs.

I mean, Linux is just the kernel. Any number of distros are further than the BSD's for how Red Hat and IBM would want it to be.
