I agree with this. One thing to remember is that the BSDs share a whole 
lot of code. Drivers usually start in one BSD and migrate to the others. 
DragonFly uses NetBSD packages, everybody uses OpenBSD's PF, and I 
expect HAMMER to make its way into another BSD at some point. The BSD 
community is more united than you might think.
