You are impossible to defend. It's just totally impossible to be on either side of any issue you are involved in, without your ignoring the technical arguments and personally attacking someone. It was pretty obvious that Peter was jumping on you. However, you turning around and jumping on me and Peter and anyone else in range makes it really hard to take your side. As for me personally... If you boot your system, you go through my code. Look at the /sys/kern/init_main.c; I am the original author of the SYSINIT code, and just because my copyright isn't in other code I've written, doesn't mean that I don't have code there. The FFS mount code for the root/non-root mounts is mine. The fsck code that fixes the reference count on lost+found is mine. The "-d" option to the "w" command is mine. The orginal LKM code is mine. Etc. etc.. In retrospect, I should never have distanced myself from the project originally back in 1994 when Novell bought USL, and I was invited to be a core team member. I did it to protect the project legally, but I'll be damned if I haven't regretted it ever since, even if it did convince Mike DeFazio, V.P. of the UNIX Systems Group at Novell, to revise the cease-and-desist conditions that were different for FreeBSD and NetBSD than they were for BSDI. It's incredibly tempting to just fork the project -- something I've lobbied heavily against in the past, with great success -- just to get rid of the social structures that allow things like the reasons for this current discussion to get started in the first place. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
