Why it is still being kept on life support in FreeBSD is the question that needs to be addressed. This didn't just happen yesterday either. We continue to bump version numbers yet fail to repair/replace crucial elements of the operating system. What is even better, depending on whose forum you choose to read, the problem is FreeBSD -- Linux -- Gnome -- KDE -- "The Cat in the Hat" (no one has blamed Microsoft for this fiasco as far as I know) yet the problem still exists. Since 2008, when HAL was being deprecated, no one has properly addressed the problem. Everyone plays the "blame game". --=20 Jerry =E2=99=94 Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
