    Yes. The Linux process is becoming unreliable. Newly "stable" versions
    have stability problems. The development process looks childish.
    Seasoned developers say not to worry, that the process works. I do
    worry. BSD seems more attractive, and it may even be worth the
    considerable effort to switch my entire client-base. Linux was lucky to
    gain the foothold that it did: traditionally, BSD had a better system
    with a less restrictive licence, so it is surprising that manufacturers
    chose to go with Linux. BSD still has a less restrictive licence and
    when mainstream press becomes interested in Linux's quality problems
    it's adoption will fall. BSD is still a good, maybe even better, option.

    Linus, this is your baby and so it's your problem. Only you have the
    influence to change things.
