Is BIRD on BSD a second class citizen?

Hello,

(reminder: please keep me in CC, the mailing list issue is still unsolved)

so far we get the impression that BIRD on BSD appears to
be somewhat less supported when compared to Linux based systems.

The two main points being so far:
- security: no privilege dropping on BSD
- performance issue when syncing with kernel routing table?

Are there more limitations of BIRD on BSD?

Do you actively recommend running BIRD on Linux (and against BSD)?

thanks,
Christoph
