Hi David,

I think Vic's responsiveness and enthusiasm for team-work means that the
software gets excellent attention when it comes to FreeBSD issues. And
since the software is under very active development by him, it looks
like the following trade-off is in the air on this one:

1) We score rapid FreeBSD-specific tweaking if it's in the base system.

2) We score off up-to-date software if it's in the ports tree.

My worry is that we won't really score _that_ much FreeBSD-specific
tweaking against the loss of having the version in the base system fall
behind Vic's development edge.

Or do you reckon lsof will be kept up to date in the base system?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
