Huh!? There was some amazing drama here, during the first ports of the early 90s.

and then the lawsuits:

Approximately 30 years ago.

Mandatory must-care-about drama since then?

No, not really.

There’s always some drama. Maybe not of the must-care-about but there’s always something.

The ASLR patch comes to mind, as does the KSE / libthr thing.

Equally there have been some very grown up moments. The Matt Dillon / DragonflyBSD fork comes to mind.

There was the... I'm going to call it the no-hugs-coc drama a few years ago (https://www.theregister.com/2018/02/21/freebsd_code_of_condu...). Not exactly earth-shattering, but I think that counts as drama.

Is that no hug thing still in place?

I believe they replaced that coc with a new one since then so I believe it's no longer an issue

You must have missed the FreeBSD code of conduct change 2 years ago and all of the port maintainers who left as a result. I’m not even a FreeBSD user but heard about it.
