To mer's last post I'd like to add another pure notional idea:
Since to me the number of threads here seem to increase wherein FreeBSD's downsides are shown,
not seldom anonymous, by naming neutral attributes as a downsize, and adding things artificially up to look even worse,
and also the numbers of newcomers to FreeBSD seem to increase (I don't know - it just feels to me like that, would be a good thing.)
while other OS, especially Linux, seem to have made decisions aggrieving parts of their communities,
it may occur to me the one or the other just come here to libel and slander as some kind of anti-advertisment make to FreeBSD look bad.
After all, one may post anything on the internet, anonymous and completely without any liability.
There are always many people disussing it, no matter what.
For many people it's proof enough when they hear someone else independently talk about the same issue.
An insubstantial rumour alone can be enough to ruin something, just because people won't stop talking about it.
Short:
Anybody can create an account and post "FreeBSD zfs destroys harddisks".
Doesn't matter if it's pure bs.
Doesn't have to be something that obvious, something a bit better - lot of real Pros are active here - but you'll get my point.
You'd have a discussion about that here.
And even if the Pros are relaxed, because they are aware of what FreeBSD can do, and what's bs,
newbies are rattled.
So again, as Hardworking newbie, me and others already pointed out:
If it's anonymous, don't take it serious at all.
