I have no problem with bringing up the discussion of process 
checkpointing on FreeBSD, what I _DO_ have a problem with is all this 
cruft about DF on the list all the time. We keep getting the, "DragonFly 
does it this way" or "DragonFly has this and we don't" on the 
freebsd-hackers mailing list, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one 
annoyed about it.

Again, I have no problem with bringing up the process checkpointing, I 
have a problem with people saying "DragonFly has this" _all_ the time; 
if I wanted to hear about DF's development path I would be subscribed to 
their mailing lists.
