Exactly.  I enjoy my position here as unofficial flamelord.  Since I
am not affiliated with either the free or netbsd teams, I feel free
to speak out against bullshit when I see it.

Look, folks, the fact of the matter is that the INSTANT anyone starts
talking about one OS or another being "more stable", "more featureful"
or whatever without giving specific examples, they are full of crap.

When I see statements like "most releases are stable, and those that
aren't are quickly repaired", I want to know what sort of weird,
wacky, and stupid definition of "stable" is being used.
