I'm not quite sure _major_ disruptions to one *BSD are irrelevant
to the others.  By the way,

schwarze@athene $ grep -ic 'from.*freebsd' cvs-new.log
469
schwarze@athene $ grep -ic 'from.*linux' cvs-new.log   
90
schwarze@athene $ grep -ic 'netbsd' cvs-new.log        
2024
schwarze@athene $ grep -ic 'freebsd' cvs-new.log
784
schwarze@athene $ grep -ic 'linux' cvs-new.log   
193

In any case, it would hardly be good news should any other free
project fail, whatever may have happened in the past.  Even if
there is some competition among various projects, one's loss
rarely is anybody else's win, when free software is concerned.

Ok, i'm not a developer; so i shall go back to lurking now.
