I think BSDs are quite capable of catching issues that others can't
catch. That has at least been my experience with OpenBSD.
However, I agree that OpenBSD and NetBSD tasks are flaky; I think that
is mostly because we generate these VM images from scratch (i.e. other
operating systems' VM images were already available on GCP). I don't
think FreeBSD is flaky.
