I must admit I like some of what I see, but I'm not sure the people currently ditching Debian for FreeBSD is. Hopefully FreeBSD's execution will better than Debian's, but given their long standing track record I have little doubt they'll be able to make a future transition a million times smoother. I'm still not sure I agree that all configuration has to be stored/processed in the same format (ref Apple plists). I know this is the way things are done on some embedded platforms like OpenWRT and once you get used to it, it's OK, but it always means a feature needs to be doubly supported: first in the original service and its config-file and then in the translation layer between the config-file translated by the init-script into the "real" deal. And will they be doing this for the 70k+ ports, or just for core services provided by the base OS?
