Actually, that's a bad example. :) More people have joined the project in the last 6 months, and without anyone dropping off in any truly noticeable way, than ever before. People have _always_ gone missing for extended periods ever since the project began and I don't see that this has increased appreciably. We also completed a fairly MAJOR set of milestones with ELF and the Alpha port (for which you deserve a good share of the credit) along with several other things which had been stalled for literally years or more. We've made a lot of progress in the last 6 months - more than I'm typically used to. Any more rapid progress than this and most of us will no longer be able to keep up. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
