The point is, if we keep acting as "individuals", vendors will treat as

We could also make it a point to support those who actually support us,
such as 3ware, thus making it very profitable to continue to support
FreeBSD and providing financial disincentive to those who don't support
FreeBSD.
The problem with this is where is the dis-incentive? those that aren't
openly supporting us now don't believe they are losing any money from not
supporting us ...
What I'd like to see, as I've posted on advocacy as well, is #s to show to
those that aren't openly supporting us know to show them that there is a
market for them ...
Supporting 3ware is good, but what if/when Adaptec buys them out ...
Adaptec doesn't officially support FreeBSD, therefore, anyone they buy out
would most likely change their policy accordingly ...
