Hello
	My request for information on current development policies
was in know way a judgement on Paul's quality of development.  If my
request was taken wrong, because of it's implicit connect to the previous
-current make world failure, I would like to apologies to Paul.  Paul I'm 
sorry if you took my post the wrong way, please continue your development
on FreeBSD it is appreciated.

	On the other had I did not receive a single message on formal
development policies for FreeBSD.  I assume the policies for FreeBSD are
then just personal development policies?
