I believe you have answered the question in the part I trimmed of your response. In either case, point is that locale has something to do with how we see the nature of objects. As you stated, being in Europe you get rights we don't here. Therefore, expectation are different. I see the expectation as being something different that you. >> I'm not stating this to make an issue of your residence. > > You just made it, above. > Again, I withdraw the remark.

In a statement similar to what Nik wrote earlier, I do not expect *BSD to be responsible for anyones work, except their own. As such, the suggestion is that we encourage all parties to do a better job. Sometimes, though, a developer does not have the time or resources to do more that his application. In which case, collecting, tracking and passing bugs to them would be in everyones interest. We can't fix someone else's bug that would go again the grain. If we can agree on this last point, then we do have something in common. We may also agree on what quality. If so, then we would want to promote quality. If we hope to achieve better quality, then something must change. I've made my suggestion. If you have one, I'll be happy to hear you out. Perhaps, even help improve on it, if needed. best regards, Jessem. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
