That thread breaks several world records in Flamebait-density.

Phoronix!
"X is Dying"!
Quoting Slashdot!
Anonymous Concerned Person!
Throw in Lenard[sic] Peottering[sic] for good measure!
Infighting between BSDs!
OpenBSD!
Conspiracy theory cover-up!

I couldn't add any more flamebait to it if I tried.

I never thought anyone could top the classic "BSD is dying", but it looks like that one did it. Good find.

I also cannot believe people still fall for it; even the post title itself ("FreeBSD is Dying") referenced the classic "BSD is dying" post, and it is an obvious update of it to more modern times. Anyone who has been in the community long enough should have already seen the original.

At least it makes it clear that "BSD is dying" is not dying.
