I lost interest in the *BSD's over a decade ago in large part because of the constant fragmentation and destructive infighting. Each fork made BSD weaker and less interesting to me. The outcome of all that strife and devision is pretty clear today.

The ideal thing for the BSD camp would be for somebody to grab a large majority of the BSD mind share. They aren't likely to overtake Linux, but they would become a much more viable alternate OS. And diversity of options is a good thing.
