attitude, having been one of the primary people through the 1.0 to 2.0 transition I know how many developers that cost us.
And how many would that be? I don't remember the masses leaving us because of the 1.0 -> 2.0 transition, but because of the lawsuit.
I recently had reason to go through all the news archives and mail archives such as they exist, and we lost *a lot* of people between 1.1.5.1 and 2.0. Most seem to have gravitated to Linux.
Again, was that because of the 'current does build' problem, or because of the lawsuit?
Basically because we couldn't provide them with a set of boot floppies so they could do any development on their machines. I don't know if you remember the clamour there were when we had the first "this almost installs a v2 machine" floppies out through the door, otherwise read your archives :-)
I'd argue that the lawsuit had most to do with it, which is the reason for the 1.x -> 2.0 move.
No, monthlong disruption of peoples ability to install and develop was the main reason. Basically as a developer FreeBSD didn't really exist in that period.
