And what speaks against a BSD as basement, please ? ;)
I would love to see this project adopt one or more BSD kernels, but unless all the releases are very different, we'll need to move off of systemd for that. KDE may seen need local revisions if they tie in to it as Gnome has as well. What BSD kernel were you hoping for? I'd like DragonFlyBSD, but then also the question of userland comes up, would you use BSD or GNU? One nice thing we'd gain from BSD is the firewall. I've used Linux for over 10 years, and I'm sorry, but netfilter is terrible. I've used it through the ipchains and iptables releases and it's still built like some sort of awful hack and the configuration is equally hideous, especially when juxtaposed with pf. Support for pf would be amazing, in my opinion.
