Poul's also definitely right about the inherent danger of bike-shedding. It's probably worth the risk of seeing conflicting things show up on it, as long as there is a rule of "the first person to submit code wins", so that conflicting things get removed from the list -- but only *after* some code shows up. If a conflict is used to exclude contributions ("We can't let that it, it's in conflict with Item #21375!" "But it implements Item #6179!" "But 21375!" "6179!" "21375!" "6179!" "21375!" "617923756179231579237593279157312972592325792357923579125!!!!!"). Figure out what a global list means, before making one... we don't want one person working on removing a.out, while another one works on adding better support for it (as a sample bike shed)! -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
