It's great that we don't need FreeBSD to build FreeBSD anymore.

In other news, my butcher has finally become a vegetarian.

But, joking aside, it's great that FreeBSD has improved Linux KPI layer, improved Linux application compatibility, and has synced their ZFS code with upstream ZFS-on-Linux.

That happened in Grenoble, France: The guy behind "La bouche'rit" ("The mouth laughs", a pun on "boucherie", the butchery), a vegan restaurant, was a previously a butcher.

I've heard of vegans / vegetarians running cattle farms as well.

Smart dealers don't use the product themselves.

Note that all of those items are about making it easier to start using FreeBSD.
