Which has the best source code?

Best is whatever you care about code quality. For some it might be design coherence, for others it might be resistance to security exploits, for others it might be architecture portability.

I can't speak to the quality of the code itself, but I know #OpenBSD seems to be the most discriminating in terms of what code they accept into base (and particularly the kernel), and the most willing to jettison code that they feel they can't maintain (e.g., Bluetooth stack, FFS softdeps).

I just hope they make a clear policy about A.I. slop, otherwise it's all kinda academic.

@rl_dane @rzeta0 AFAICT #OpenBSD doesn't need that because they debate every single kernel code change in.depth before admitting anything to it.

Pretty shure #AIslop code would get jeeted and the one responsible for submitting banned from the project.
- Tho only time will tell.

Rejecting slop on principle is far better than rejecting slop for lack of quality.

The chief issue of AI isn't quality, it's ethics and exploitation.
