I don’t see much future for BSD at this point - and I say that as someone who had their MBR overwritten by 386BSD core dumping once upon a time. I love BSD, and it’s simplicity, but outside of dedicated appliances, I think general purpose UNIX is long settled.
What’s more is that Docker has become the one true way to distribute software for enterprises. The dependency and package management problems are not optional anymore, and the lack of a consistent structure makes image based deployments inevitable. Yes, someone will immediately bring up that BSD had these features first, but it ignores the two advantages of universal distribution and simplicity that Docker built.
