@uma @kaleb_haugen "does not have any kind of upstream code" is not true. Every #BSD system includes *some* software in its base that's pulled from some other party. E.g. #FreeBSD has #OpenZFS, #Heimdal, #LLVM and #OpenSSL in its base, to name just a few.

But then, these aren't just "packaged", they're pulled into the single source repository from which the system is built and care is taken they integrate "perfectly".
