I would ask that everyone join me in ignoring any subsequent traffic on this topic, we don't need it and I doubt that NetBSD needs it. I assure you that both groups have more than their share of strengths and weaknesses, and trying to make any assessment of "better or worse" is bound to come down to being little more than personal opinion. Articles like the above merely cast doubt on the credibility of the poster. This is the last and only thing I'm going to say publically on this topic, and I hope that people in both camps find it within themselves to show similar restraint. Thanks.
