BSD guy here - My heirarchy would be more

better bsd's > not as clean bsds > solaris > linux

with not as clean and solaris being on roughly the same footing- much like SMF requiring XML, solaris code, while very clean, seems very overengineered and not as elegant to me.

that said, i really haven't hacked enough kernel code to deserve to be commenting, so yeah..

It seems as though SMF was a bit controversial in the community. I do agree that it's a bit overengineered, but on the other hand I would take SMF before systemd any day.

Can you share some examples of what you consider "better bsd" and what you consider "not as clean bsd"?
