Sorry forget that last message. GNOME was a bad example, but you did in essence you clarify my point. That FreeBSD or whichever one you talk about may or may not be using a different pkgsrc branch.
I didn't call any components standardized, i said even if you *were* to standardize certain components for all BSDs (related to package management/ source) you still would have to get around the fact that each of them may use a different pkgsrc branch. Otherwise you wouldn't have the current differences in software compatibility where FreeBSD has what (28000 packages?) and NetBSD has (15000?)
