Are the BSDs dying? Some security researchers think so (CSO)

Here's a34c3 conference report in CSO suggesting that the BSDs are losingdevelopers. "von Sprundel says he easily found around 115 kernel bugs across thethree BSDs, including 30 for FreeBSD, 25 for OpenBSD, and 60 forNetBSD. Many of these bugs he called 'low-hanging fruit.' He promptlyreported all the bugs, but six months later, at the time of his talk, manyremained unpatched.'By and large, most security flaws in the Linux kernel don't have a longlifetime. They get found pretty fast,' von Sprundel says. 'On the BSD side,that isn't always true. I found a bunch of bugs that have been around avery long time.' Many of them have been present in code for a decade ormore."
