Thanks for taking the time to write your comments. What strikes me is that we may have lots of non-FreeBSD developers working to backport stuff in their own private trees. Possibly a lot of redundant work is being done. Even though you're backporting to a specific release, and even though you're only testing the work via your own software, would it not help others and possibly even yourself if this FreeBSD-specific work lands in the FreeBSD repository instead of your private tree? In my view you're just as much a FreeBSD developer as people with commit access that are scratching their own itches in CURRENT. Erik
