True.. but the surprise is the Linux like bleeding edge in BSD and the
quality degradation at a degree that I have just replaced my FreeBSD laptop
with a MacBook :-(

Maybe its a time to give OpenBSD a try..

I really don't understand this comment, either. Certainly give OpenBSD
a try and if it fits your needs better that's great.

As far as I'm aware OpenBSD issues a release every six months and
supports the most recent two releases, so it seems odd to me to
complain about FreeBSD's ~1 year minor release support lifetime and 5
year stable branch support lifetime in that context.
