Why would this OS (or any OS) follow FreeBSD-current ?
This is negative because it just encourages the bad practice on the part of FreeBSD to release 2 or 3 or 4 stable point releases, based on the assumption that "anyone who wants anything should just use -current".
At some point there will be the (absurd) necessity to start bundling a "super current" release because there has to be a test platform, but at the same time everyone is using -current in production and you can't break it too badly.
Or I guess they can just break it badly one of these times and a lot of people get screwed.
There is a deep, deep cultural problem in FreeBSD that just doesn't ever go away and it can be summed up by saying: FreeBSD is an OS by, and for, FreeBSD developers.
- kchoudhu 10y agoWe'll be up to 5 point releases when 11 hits in a few weeks. Sayeth the new arrival to FreeBSD org: "What the fuck, which one am I supposed to use?" LATEST RELEASES Production: 10.3, 10.2, 10.1, 9.3 Upcoming: 11.0 Edit: To be fair, it's worth mentioning that 10.2, 10.1 and 9.3 will sunset on 1/1/2017, so we'll be left with a slightly more sane set of production releases at that point.
