Well, it still seems like an improvement over the current situation where we're wrongly classifying non-FreeBSD-BSDs as FreeBSD. Oh, and "platforms that contain 'BSD' wouldn't fit in the legend anyway. Should I proceed with my earlier suggestion to change "FreeBSD" to "BSD" in the legend? >> (Unfortunately, we cannot distinguish easily between the other >> BSDs in that graph, because we'd have to re-import the archives >> since 2007.) > > That's indeed unfortunate.
