For anyone else who wasn't previously familiar with the acronym, GCD stands for Grand Central Dispatch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Central_Dispatch

I wonder how much software is written just for FreeBSD or Mac OS X - i.e. how much traction does this news provide for the GCD movement?

That was fast. I knew OS X and FreeBSD were very similar, but I didn't expect to see GCD in FreeBSD until at least the end of the year.
