A few questions:
"Despite the reduced scope" (quoting from above)
What does that mean? Actually, how much of the FreeBSD userland is used in Debian?
As I understand, it is Debian userland with a FreeBSD kernel. Some things compiled with GCC and other things with clang, but with more than 90% compiled packages as of the email from Steven.
Secondly: I always considered it a bit of "academic value". Do you have "real world examples" of Debian kFreeBSD?
That email from Steven sheds much more light than I can shed on the matter. I did boot up kFreeBSD when it first arrived and was astounded at how quickly it boot to login prompt at the time; but I didn't do much more with it because it was then far from ready for production use, it was more a "technology preview". However, it certainly looks like it is ready for production use now, or it will be when the Jessie version hits the masses. A.
