What do they bring to the project to earn them >that 'status'? Is there somewhere where this is clearly posted? You can see the list of the core team in the handbook. They bring overall political and architectural steeing to the project. We have earned the status by having earned it in the eyes of the core team that invited us to join. Amancio was asked not to let his personal differences with sos get in front of his role as maintainer, got pissed off by this and left. The only reason he ever got commit bit was to maintain that very driver, since he has stomped away, his bit gets cleared. John Dyson went out a tangent and lost all contact with the core team, some will even say he went "balistic", in either case, he attained escape velocity, and that is the end of that story. As we say in Denmark: "If you don't like the smell in the bakery, you'd better leave". Nate (finally) did that, helped a little on the way to make sure he didn't take the wrong door, and now he likes to shout obsenities in through the window every now and then. I'm sorry guys, there is so much code to hack out there so can we please stop this "promise keepers convention" and get on with the real things in life. At the very least, please leave my name out of the CC list, I have more important things to do than to read/delete this silly thread. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
