Of course I'm not actually asking for suggestions as to which release to
use - we're[1] heavily invested in FreeBSD and spend a lot of time and
money on testing and due diligence for what is the sole OS platform for
our core businesses.
Most of you recognized this as a continuation of the long (and productive,
I thought) conversation from March 2012 titled "FreeBSD has serious
problems with focus, longevity, and lifecycle".
So I was curious where we were at 2.5 years later.
And that's what lead to my rhetorical question: If you're not a hobbyist,
and you need to go into production and withstand stakeholder scrutiny,
what do you do with a single x.0 release and two legacy releases ?
My favorite response was "use stable" which, in two words, tells you
*everything you need to know* about FreeBSD development.
