    I agree with that. What enterprise environment wants is quick patching
    and a quick rollback (in case of failure). Nobody asks you how good is
    or how much you like your OS - system just has to work - that's all.
    FreeBSD itself *is* very robust OS but not having this properties it is
    still limited to be widely accepted in large production environments.
