This is awesome! I only started toying around with Proxmox after VMware became actively hostile towards users last year or maybe a bit earlier. This is a welcome alternative in the space. It's impressive. But the reputation of FreeBSD and the inclusion of ZFS and jails from the people I trust most to build a lightweight system is pretty great and I'm excited to see how this develops over time.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s funded by the FreeBSD foundation, so “by” fits.

But it's got a separate entity providing paid support?

svelte is very new, it’s supported by the foundation not by. also the foundation is not freebsd they are two separate entities. freebsd is the developers, the foundation is a bunch of canadians supporting said developers.

Looks good! Any reason why it is not in the ports?

Sylve Dev here! The port is in review and the maintainers has told me that it'll be merged into the next quarterly slush (which is next week). And the installation script on the website will automatically switch to ports when it's available.
