No, I've just implied that I don't personally have the ability to put together an interoperability test bed that tests against non-FreeBSD boxes, without a lot of effort. Is FreeBSD/FreeBSD interoperability acceptable? It's like posting a driver for a SCSI card that was written from the specifications, without a card in hand. Except that his code is *already* in the tree, so it's not like I'm asking anyone to commit anything that doesn't at least make the status quo better. For heaven's sake! *It has only been 3 days* since the code was threatened! What do you expect *in 3 days*!?! -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
