No worries, and thanks! The relevance to the argument at hand, I think, I was just stating an anecdote to show a scale of sorts. I think talking about the level of zealotry is relevant and kind of interesting.

Honestly if any of the BSD projects were going to consider incorporating Rust you'd think it would be the one that markets itself as being security focused.

I'll rephrase since my last comment was flagged. FreeBSD in this context is basically Linux-lite. It's not really adding diversity. Something like ReactOS is. That's why trying to take my words and use them against them here

It's not BS. They port a lot of modules but based on the needs of the developers, and often out of date.

Is this not an argument against vendor lock in? I'd argue that doesn't really apply to a FOSS project like Linux, and that BSD isn't sufficiently different to help diversity. If that was the goal, there are a ton of smaller O

It's not that far fetched. Someone is going to be the lead architect. If BSD works as well as Linux but the guy in charge has a preference for BSD, that's enough for them to go BSD.
