FreeBSD was only a small part of the chat. In the greater part, Kris Moore discussed, amongst other things:

  • community
  • ZFS
  • total cost of ownership.

Why? It was simply a business decision, business in the sense of profitability, and they were fully entitled to make it. Let's move on.

… Let's move on.

It's still quite newsworthy; Cody Franklin used the phrase "recently".

Until yesterday, I never heard anyone from TrueNAS or IXsystems talk about the transition. I learnt something new.

@grahamperrin The "transition" is what happened after FreeNAS Corral, and the iocage/plugin debacle. It's all in the Freenas archived forums.
