A truly fascinating thread with some real surprises --thank you.
But it's nearly 2019, three years after the OP; NetBSD exists still and I'm quite happy with it as a workaday OS. AFAIK, no Code of Conduct dramas, no 'init dramas' ... just a very nice solid system (and to my mind the only probable heir to BSD-lite's 4.4's crown and sceptre). Can easily use it on the pi bramble too.
Apologies for the necro, if people here object to such things.
