Quite interesting to see JdeBP's nosh integration for FreeBSD notable enough to be mentioned. Does this signify there is interest for getting it into base? It would certainly be miles ahead over choosing launchd.

"Core fielded an enquiry about NextBSD and whether this should be the future direction for the whole FreeBSD project. Core's position is that NextBSD is an interesting project, and we regard it, like the other BSD projects, as a potential source of good ideas. However, we currently have no plans to adopt NextBSD as the official FreeBSD distribution."

I don't see launchd coming to FreeBSD anytime soon.

It's in the content, FreeBSD is developing nosh[0] for replacing init system.

FreeBSD is not developing nosh as a replacement for init.

Someone in the FreeBSD community is developing nosh, and it might, someday, be a replacement for init. Might.
