Howdy,

Though they may be vocal, I believe the numbers of OpenBSD users are but a fraction of the FreeBSD users.

I have some reservations about making any advances to support FreeBSD, but I understand that by supporting any of the *BSDs, that we've made it tremendously easier for any other *BSD user who might want to use their own platform.  Thus, there's a wide benefit without over-exertion of resource.

I think FreeBSD is as far as we need to go into *BSD-land as a direct initiative.  If someone feels particularly strong about another BSD - Open, Net, etc., then I'd vote that we're open to contributions but that we're not worrying ourselves about it.

But, that's just my opinion.
