A primary thing *BSD needs for "hip young newbie" attractiveness is
something less geriatric than CVS as their source code distribution
system... no matter how secure, stable etc it is, it's $CURRENT_YEAR
already and I for one welcome our Git overlords.

For consideration...
SVN really may not offer much in the way of native

Without exploit mitigations and with an insecure-by-default design,
writing malware for FreeBSD is a fun task, taking us back to 1999-era

the tangled history of many utilities, and we

Though 11.0-RELEASE was not finalized until after the period covered
