Has there been any effort to getting the BSD's to work together?
I can understand each BSD wants to go their own way on certain design issues and or to something experimental but each project seems to copy features from each other. I'm wondering if the BSD's can't work a little closer together to streamline the process.
Maybe establish a common repository that everyone derives from. Then patching for platform specific features/options. How much does most of the userland really differ across platforms?
The kernels are different but has there been any movement to establish guidelines to coding kernel features to make them more portable?
