So basically, unless something major changes, BSD will be on it's last legs in 30 years. Current committers will either be burned out or God forbid dead. This is not just a BSD thing, Linux is also seeing a decrease in committers, still way more than the BSDs, but a decrease none the less. I love the BSDs and hope they continue to do well and grow but the writing is on the wall or in this case your charts. Great presentation! Thank you.

Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft. OpenBSD people do what they do because they love Unix. FreeBSD people do what they do because they hate Linux.
