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

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.
