I don't see as there's anything I could do to avert such an outcome, assuming the principles were intent on branching off to that degree, and everything I could say in stating FreeBSD's own position has already been said so there's not much more I can say to dissuade them either. I've offered all that's in my "power" to offer, and if you're all waiting for better terms from me before making your decision to split, then all I can say is split now and good luck. You want the keys to the store as a prerequisite to progress and they're just not mine to give out. Jordan P.S. Perhaps my metaphors are flawed here and there, but rather than protest that you *don't* want the keys to the store at all but merely policy/concensus/communism/whatever, please keep in mind that it's only a metaphor by which I'm simply trying to make a point, that point being that that what you want, for whatever reason, you're not going to get nor is any one person empowered to give it to you. You can keep hitting your head against this wall or you can learn to scale it.
