I've been very happy with the 2.3 release. Modularizing everything and the
new bootstrap GUI is very nice. Updated BSD code base is a godsend.

But bug reports and response can be measured, at least by those with
support contracts for the commercial products. I found PFSense less

have a problem, I can open a case and somebody else is working on it
(because I paid them to), and they usually solve the problem without a lot
more involvement on my part.

Valid points, my intention was to share my thoughts on certification and
audit processes in general, and I guess in the process derail the thread a
bit.

Back to pfSense,  arguably the point you raise is even stronger than the
"bad coding practices" one. I might even say I personally don't care much
about coding practices as I care about support services being prompt and
effective. The latter
*may* actually lead to good coding practices, but not the other way around.
