The inaugural release of ubuntuBSD is now available, which the developers have codenamed "Escape From SystemD". [It] pairs the Ubuntu userspace with the FreeBSD kernel.
... This first ubuntuBSD beta release is based off Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf and the FreeBSD 10.1 kernel.
This Ubuntu+FreeBSD operating system ships with the Xfce desktop, is designed for both servers and desktops, and offers complete ZFS file-system support.

N.B.
The ubuntuBSD Web Site link is currently a circular trip back to SourceForge.
[Additional coverage at softpedia. For the impatient/adventuresome here is a direct link to download the latest ISO (893.8 MB ubuntuBSD 15.10~BETA2-amd64.iso). -Ed.]

you got it, market share is irrelevant, implying using potential abandonware is better than putting yourself in the hands of managers and committees. Look at the facts.
I use stuff made by 1, one, main dev; meanwhile others use MS or apple tools; guess which tools have been discontinued, changed for no reason?

There's a lack of threat of forking that permit managers to be whimsical on what products that get a blessing.
