This doesn't seem to be a particularly kind or constructive comment.

The linked article opens with:

DOS isn't exactly a moving target anymore, so we don't have to chase new features or shifting compatibility.

Are you making a commentary on the usefulness of DOS or of FreeDOS as a project?

I think they're just making an ironic comment about how times have changed.

Yes, that was it. I was trying to express positive astonishment that a 36-year-old operating system is being maintained largely in its original form.

No disrespect towards FreeDOS intended at all.
