wow
since it is not April 1st it must be revelation's day ...:)
is this then the bottomline ?

Hey people
There are still a lot of us which might not be smart enough or lack
the resources to help you debug issues but we still use and depend on
FreeBSD, and we test, and hopefully give you some debugging hints
I have some production servers running on STABLE and even some on
CURRENT to stress our developers, but most run RELEASE and use
freebsd-update
Keep up the good work, it makes me a more confident sysadmin
Ports is the best thing happening to me after going through al the apt
and other stuff
you talk like the wind blows my friend ...
remembering your own most recent words in another occasion what
certainly do not match your last sentence ...
The last sentences:
In short: FreeBSD makes you think about what you are doing beforehand
which makes a great way to upgrade/ update application, database e.g.
on servers whithout running into service downtime. Other OS's don't or
do it less. I like that a lot, it saves a lot of incoming phone calls.
