You who have rented a house with a door. The salesperson who comes by to sell you a product. He sell product that help you stop smoking. You however don't smoke. The salesman talk is mandatory and so is the cost that goes with it. Some of the house owners came up with a design to keep the bad wolfs, i mean salespersons out. There doors keep the salespersons always out. Some time later, some other house owners came up with another design that lets you decide if you wasn't the salespersons out. You have tree choices. 1) Rent from a house owner without a lock. 2) Rent from a house owner with a always on lock. 3) Rent from a house owner with a option to lock. Dave wants that all house owners release option 2 for option 3 and thus option 2 will no longer be available. However the house owners who implemented option two doesn't force you any more than that a care salesmen force you not to ride on water. -- Best regards/Met vriendelijke groet, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
