That was my thought as well. Thinking back to OS/2 Warp's similar approach. Unless FreeBSD has really, really strong differentiating capabilities that are in super high demand _already_, and insufficient Linux interop is a switching impediment, then focusing on Linux interop with otherwise low differentiation/demand seems likely to further lower FreeBSD differentiation & demand. Were I them, I'd pick a couple really strong niches to try to dominate for a little while to drastically differentiate. Maybe in SDN or SSI clustering or something. Create the absolute best platform in that regard while still having familiar tools available for general purpose use cases... and _then_ work to trivialize the on-ramp to FreeBSD from Linux et. al. FreeBSD needs to find some way to be a part of the meme, "Nobody ever got fired for going with..."
