Hmm, the only thing I see with this (the patch looks ok) is that the rules in the CG were actually a list of rules that were drafted by -core and voted on by the committers about a year or so ago. I'm not sure one can just add new rules out of the blue, but then again there is no provision for what to do with proposed changes to the rules. Nik? FWIW, the point you raise is important, and I would hope that it wouldn't even need to be explicit. Then again, the same is true of respecting other committers. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
