I am not bashing PF, I am just asking out of curiosity


Thanks in advance
I am not developer, not programmer and my education has nothing with computers. On the market are three major OS:
Windows
Mac OS
Linux

The BSDs are not important for the market. And it is a true. Just look what happened with Xfce, KDE 4.6 and who know wha GNOME 3 will bring.
Where are drivers for BSD? Flash for BSD?
FreeBSD has a Linux layer because users want a flash which is not native for BSD, many games..., web cameras...

And if you are looking "wars" between Linux and BSD users, plus Theo Radt talkings about Linux...what do you expect? Do you expect that Linux developers port PF? I don't.
