It is easier to try, but not impossible to tree. Also, I am distributing source, not binary snapshots, so the source code is available for people to look at as well. > AFAIR, there was no feedback when kan@ had posted last snapshot. Actually kan did get feedback from users when he posted his last snapshot, and I did get feedback from users now. Not everything has to be in the tree for people to try and provide feedback. There are other projects, such as KAME ( http://www.kame.net ) and TrustedBSD ( http://www.trustedbsd.org ) who contribute things periodically to FreeBSD, but do work outside the FreeBSD tree, so it's not like this has not been done before. So, like I said before, this stuff will get into the tree, just not now. I hope I get more feedback from users who actually try this stuff, rather than non-useful feedback from people who basically will not try this stuff unless it is in the tree. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
