FreeBSD 9.0 released
FreeBSD 9.0 has been released. Highlights of this release include a new installer, Capsicum Capability Mode for sandboxing, softupdates journaling for the Fast Filesystem, user-level DTrace, ZFS updates, and much more, see the release notes for more information. "The FreeBSD Project dedicates the FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE to the memory of Dennis M. Ritchie, one of the founding fathers of the UNIX[tm] operating system. It is on the foundation laid by the work of visionaries like Dennis that software like the FreeBSD operating system came to be. The fact that his work of so many years ago continues to influence new design decisions to this very day speaks for the brilliant engineer that he was.
May he rest in peace."

What does "almost based on BPF" mean in the USB packet filter item? The developer was thinking of using the BPF code but changed his mind last minute? The developer wrote something similar to BPF, thought merging them would be a good idea, but ran out of time? The developer took the BPF code but then modified it so much that it is magically no longer a derivative?
