> Get IPv6 into the tree. Now. Thank you. I don't know quite what makes you think that we came down in the last shower of rain, but has it ever occurred to you that we're not _completely_ stupid? Do you _always_ assume that anyone other than yourself is a complete moron? What makes you think that we don't want this code integrated, or that we don't care about it? Have you bothered to actually read those sides of this discussion that have come from the release engineering team? Wouldn't it be much more sensible of you to assume that there are good and valid reasons for things being the way they are? Wouldn't it be much more sensible of you to enquire as to what these reasons are, or perhaps to even have paid attention to all the discussions and progress that have gone on over the last few months (or even just stayed up to date in the last week, where the whole matter has been discussed)? Or are you just too lazy? Too lazy to pay attention? Too lazy to actually participate in this process? Too lazy to do anything other than to wait until it's too late to do anything, and then randomly sling blame around? What _do_ you think you achieve with this? How do you think that insulting the people that are actually trying to do the work while you sit on the sidelines is going to help the process? It's been said before, and I'm sure it'll be said again; if you can't or won't offer support or assistance, the very least you can do is avoid being actively destructive. Take a few moments to think about what it is that you and we want to achieve, and how best to get there. And take a hint; insulting us is not how to go about it. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
