Zones from Solaris is a nice name.

NetBSD's jail feature is based on kauth, a decent designed capabilities system, informed by an Apple technical paper. Having jails backed by kauth puts NetBSD's well above FreeBSD's, if NetBSD can reach feature parity. The earlier implementation struggled with a networking feature that NetBSD did not have.

Also, this work is made with AI:

"For context: this is my first serious work inside the NetBSD kernel. I am not an experienced NetBSD kernel developer. To better understand complex code paths and trade-offs, I use AI-based tools for analysis and occasionally for draft implementations. However, everything that goes into my working tree is manually reviewed, adjusted, or discarded by me. I only integrate changes that I believe are technically sound and that I can explain and defend, and I am working towards a clean and auditable tree structure."

From memory, some developers were unhappy with a closed off xfree86 mailing-list related to development, it's slow progress, the coming re-licensing to something ridiculous, like a regression in licensing to include advertising clauses.

I was also elated with the energy behind the new X.org, most xfree86 developers moved with it too, many wonderful changes came out of the separation, and some churn and pain.

I have never observed ads, and still do not observe any ads on Z Library—it looks like the same old Z.
