My experience with the ideas list so far is, that specific and =20 concrete items are more likely to get picked up than high level stuff. =20 An item will be picked up more likely, the smaller the concrete item is. This (small and very detailed) is not something we want for the SoC, =20 but this is the FreeBSD ideas list and not the SoC ideas list. If you =20 think something is not appropriate for the SoC, mark it up as such. If =20 you think an idea should vanish completely, remove it with an =20 approriate commit log or start a discussion about it the removal may =20 be controversal. Personally I'm not emotionally attached to any entry, =20 and I think the same is true for Joel. Related thought: maybe we will =20 need a list of stuff we will not do ever for stuff which is removed =20 from the list but gets suggested again. Bye, Alexander. --=20 Memory should be the starting point of the present. http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID =3D B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID =3D 72077137
