Well, I would counter:

'Good enough means exactly what it says, and doing more is foolish'

Its not as if FreeBSD *IS* so wonderful.  How many libc_r systems
do you need - and are any of them the last word?  And aio?

Seriously, 'good enough, here now, cheap, and low risk' is very
desirable for practicality.  Arsing around trying to be 'the best'
for some academic definition of 'best' is more developer conceit
than anything else.
