On a more useful note; small teams are not ncessarly that inefficient. Especially if someone is passionate about something. Looking at the relatively small OpenBSD project, they kick out some very important things. It also comes down to the idea that certain problems cannot simply be solved faster or better by chucking more developers at it.

I don't think so. Probably, not even on FreeBSD since the file system kernel API has changed from FreeBSD to DragonFly BSD.
Maybe like NTFS on Linux, we could get a poor implementation of HAMMER2 on Linux, maybe over FUSE. But would perform poorly.
Native HAMMER2 is built specially for DragonFly BSD and is tightly integrated with it and relies on its unique file storage mechanisms.
Is HAMMER2 better than ZFS, Btrfs, and ext4?
Did Matthew Dillon single handily create a file system that is superior to other file systems created by teams of researchers and developers?
Matthew Dillon famed rock star genius programmer.. Or so they say.. yeah I don't know, maybe. Given enough time can one person do what a company can.. sure, the single person has clarity of focus and design, they don't have to compromise. Look at Sim City 5 (1000+ ppl) vs City Skylines (12 ppl).Last edited by k1e0x; 11 June 2019, 02:41 PM.

Why arents BSDs dead yet?
Are they superior to Linux systems?
So they suffer from less bugs because less/people use/researchthem?
I'm really curious about it, because I'm not sure if Linux ecosystem/village fragmentation is that positive, and not sure as well if BSDs are that good as they proclaim to be (or their users do, while saying Linux systems are just a patchwork mess) having smaller teams/sponsors/attention.
Sorry for OT and provocative intro and thanks for your opinions

Of course, NTFS support is also available in the kernel. But Debian just dropped it. Why?
* ntfs: Disable NTFS_FS due to lack of upstream security support
(CVE-2018-12929, CVE-2018-12930, CVE-2018-12931)
Really, Linux upstream maintainers should probably just remove the module from the tree. But that might require facing up to the fact that they've allowed this clear conflict of interest to come about, and persist for a decade.Last edited by GreenReaper; 12 June 2019, 05:15 PM.
