FreeBSD re-supported in VMware ESX server

Just discovered that the latest 2.5.x release of Vmware's ESX server supports FreeBSD after dropping support in some of the earlier releases.

This is great!

However it is also a bittersweet circumstance, in that the version they choose to support is on a very short leash. Support for 4.11-RELEASE by the FreeBSD team is due to expire in just a few months (Jan '07). Hopefully VMware will recognize the situation for what it is and get the 6.x series into a supported state. 6.x is the horse they should be riding at this point.
