There is no single "top concern". There are usually a set of broad goals
and security certainly is one of them. It is hard to find a mainstream
distribution that is more security minded than Fedora or RHEL.

Well FreeBSD doesnt. Going by what is mentioned in just the home page is
just plain silly. There are about pages, overviews or feature lists
that describe a product or project in more detail and what is provided
can be different from what is documented or highlighted.
