I actually just asked about FreeBSD's status regarding Common
Criteria last week on -questions but no one knew; one guy
answered that it would be wasteful. Is this the cert on
everyone's mind? It would be nice to have this cert for the 5.x
line but I understand that it is massively expensive and the
resources may be better spent on development. Has the team
discussed this?
