    Charles Hannum says NetBSD is dead

    http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-...8/30/0016.html

    Essentially, he lists the problems that have plagued NetBSD into what he calls irrelevance (particularly the interference of the NetBSD Foundation into the Project's affairs). It's a good read, and it's a shame it went that way.

    Ah! I see that the slashdot trolls have landed. How about a thread about Soviet Russia now?

    Actually, it was on Digg before it was on Slashdot and on several linux/unix/bsd related blogs even before that.

    There is a reason why it is actually good to have strong, almost "figurehead" leaders related to projects. People like Linus and Mark Shuttleworth help get things done and push projects to their conclusions. It sounds to me like NetBSD really is just lacking in good leadership.

    That's what it looks like. I don't know that much about NetBSD, so I'm hardly an expert .

    FreeBSD doesn't have 'strong leadership' but seems to be fine after all these years.
