FreeBSD Core Team Statement on FreeBSD Development Processes

I don't know, I've never heard of Arm or NetApp or Netflix having these issues. They just quietly contribute both employee time and financially to the FreeBSD project without fanfare (I guess at times Netflix does blog about their contributions but not in the same look-at-me way).

Netgate seems to want to brag about their contributions (despite the fact they don't even show up on the foundation page) while also somehow not taking any responsibility for when they screw up.

Netflix presents their FreeBSD work at FOSDEM fairly often. They're usually good technical talks that don't come off as PR.

Which makes sense. The type of person Netflix wants to know about their FreeBSD contributions is the type of technical person that will be impressed by non-PR technical talks and think "I want to work with this guy". The average Netflix customer shouldn't care at all about the technical details of the background so doing non-technical PR wouldn't gain anything.
