Interested? Or will put in effort?
Sorry, but I'm a little pissy on this... idle opinions don't help. At
this point I tend to discount opinions by people that are doing
something. Thus I don't care what NetBSD or OpenBSD do. My slant in
which to use is dictatated by the toolchain. NetBSD does not contribute
back their changes, nor can I use them (or look at them), else I taint
FreeBSD's GNU toolchain with bits that I have to maintain forever as they
cannot be made part of the official distributions.
Of course if you know about a strong technical issue, that I'm interested
in hearing.
