I think as much earnest discussion as is reasonable is
warranted; also that too much pondering stands in the way
of honest progress.
To my fellow hackers I say that charging ahead is certain
to bring myriad painful snags and mis-takes. But learning
by mistakes is a tremendous Plus++.
As for my prefs, even tho I've used FreeBSD since 2.0.5, I
would vote to use either the Open or Net distributions, make
use of the BSD libc where it makes sense, and glibc for
everything else.
What's wrong with having a /usr/ucb/{bin,lib,include} ? Non-kernel
things-BSD could be planned up-front and implemented later on
rather than hacked in as an afterthought.
