Linux hasn’t really been a hobbyist operating system for years as anyone taking even a casual glance at a list of contributors would know but sure let’s all pretend FreeBSD is somehow relevant or properly maintained. That’s probably in the same universe where ZFS has a chance of being mainlined and isn’t heavily encumbered by Oracle owned patents.
Why people would contribute to this mess is beyond me but everyone is free to do what they want.

You haven't glanced at a list of FreeBSD's contributors, have you?
- skyyler 4y agoYou're pretending that FreeBSD isn't relevant... You're probably behind a pfsense firewall right now. You have probably seen someone playing games on a PlayStation 3 or 4. You've definitely benefitted from the FreeBSD project without even realising. Have you taken a casual glance at the list of FreeBSD contributors?
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoI know FreeBSD is used by Sony on its console, by Netflix and by WhatsApp. Everyone knows because they are pretty much the sole serious contributors to it. I don’t think it’s particularly relevant nor do I think it’s particularly good to be honest but we are getting far from the initial discussion about ZFS.
