I think, this time, the worry isn't so much that we are verbally "excluded"
per se as much as the letters BSD might be denied our use.  What then?
I'd hate to see us forced to frag off to be yet another *ix, *ux or turn
into something else completely.

...but I will confess that it bugs me a bit that we (OpenBSD/NetBSD) are
looked on as the bastards of the community when BSD, Inc. doesn't support
half the platforms we do.

I also have to wonder:  How did we miss out on this opportunity?
