I don't see why people are so anal about phk's cleanups. CVS has support for NOTICING CONFLICTS so they're easy to resolve! It's an inconvenience but, goddamnit, you have to live with that so we can _all_ work on the project at the same time. This is _not_ Whistle, and we can't poke our heads around the corner and say "hey, I'm about to commit this." Do you know why many people do not have a problem with Poul's commits? He has _direction_, and is getting there safely! This isn't code that's breaking people's machines and hard work. This is cleaning up the kernel API which is in desperate need of it. If you can't live with someone else's changes impacting an area you're also working in, you shouldn't be in a project with _hundreds_ of developers. I can't believe the amount of flak Poul gets over his commits. There is noone else, including Matt, that is looked on with so suspicion. Anyone who thinks Poul should get hung by his toes because he doesn't post a HEADS-UP with every little cleanup he does needs a serious reality check. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
