Yes, I think that sounds about right.  I watch the changelog closely 
and am thinking the same thing.  Hope we're right.

I didn't use to like Debian but it has grown on me over the years.  If 
not for the pesky systemd I'd probably already be there.  Straight 
Arch Linux is pretty good too, but takes some effort to get done, 
kinda like Gentoo does.  Has GREAT documentation though, and an 
excellent package management system.  I dabbled with FreeBSD years ago 
but found it too different than what I was used to, and lacked the 
motivation to learn about it.  Will probably give it another try at 
some point.  Haven't ever tried the other BSD's (Open/Net).
