TrueOS, once a FreeBSD distro, will change the focus of their project and become a full, separate fork. TrueOS was known especially for providing a nice FreeBSD desktop based on -CURRENT with the Lumina desktop environment and the ZFS file system by default. Now it is a full fork.
Essentially, TrueOs will become a downstream fork of FreeBSD. They will integrate newer software into the system, such as OpenRC and LibreSSL. They hope to stick to a 6-month release cycle.

None of those things you mention are consistent across the BSDs. Many have the same names and are descended from the same code, but it's not like Net/Open/Free/DflyBSD have the same versions of everything or even approximate compatibility. Systemd is making a lot of things standard across distributions, sure, but that's not making linux more like BSD, it's making linux distros more homogenous.
