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.
