FreeDOS needs a package management system else it will never be able to take over the desktop PC market.
I have a FreeDOS floppy image that I can PXE boot for installing BIOS updates on old systems.

I fired it up on my Toshiba Libretto a few months ago just for laughs. The SSH client and Arachne web browser worked great.

Btrfs
Why are people asking for Btrfs for FreeDOS? LOL!
FreeDOS doesn't need advanced stuff such as Btrfs, virtualization, PulseAudio, X.org, Python, Ruby, etc.
What FreeDOS needs is good compatibility with MS-DOS, long file name support, international text editing support, etc.
Though, it would be pretty cool if Midnight Commander ran on FreeDOS.

There are some great games for DOS, like Little Big Adventure for example. But most of them can be played using DosBox AFAIK. I really see no reason to keep FreeDOS alive.

Phoronix: 14 Years & Kicking: FreeDOS Is Still Alive
FreeDOS, the open-source DOS operating system, is still alive and seeing activity around the GPL-licensed project though the FreeDOS SVN code repository hasn't seen any activity in nearly one year...
