The only sad thing is that *BSD is actually dying. Linux is getting literally everywhere, spoiling standards with linuxisms and accepting blobs (that are still Linux-specific, so no hardware support even with blobs and no open specs also). So, losing contributors, that are going to more popular projects, lacking the hardware support and better to not talk about the dead FreeBSD media-advertising will eventually lead to a, at first, marginal haiku-like community and death of a bunch of little flavors (DragonFly BSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD), and, then, to the end of life of the system. So sad, that the money and legacy, not the efficiency and power make the modern IT world.
I don't think BSD isn't going to die though. BSD is very appealing to those who is able to really appreciate technology. This is sadly a very small fraction of even those in the computer field. But still, FreeBSD has been active for decades now, and there is a pretty active community not showing any signs of dying. There will always be people who will be able to recognize greatness when they see it. I hope it will stay this way.
