Because BSDI pulls a lot of I can't speak for NetBSD, but this is already of GREAT importance to the FreeBSD group. As I said before, anyone sending me a NetBSD or BSDI binary that doesn't work (and is statically linked) will receive my full support on ironing out the problems. We consider BSDI compatibility to be a major feature of FreeBSD 2.0 and will continue to maintain it. >Of course, a unified BSD would do a lot also, but maybe I should get out >of my dreamworld.
