I, for one, am far from perfect, and I welcome and encourage you to point this out whenever you think this is necessary. But you've got to acknowledge being a so called "committer" does not make you Righteous. Now, you either accept to be pointed out when you screw things up and be more careful in the future, or you repress that feeling and believe you are living in a Wonderful Shiny World(tm) where everything is perfect. In any case, it's your call, whether you want to make FreeBSD a better OS, or not. Regards, - Arnaud
