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= --Apple-Mail-2--682631634--
