May I respectfully remind you that you never heeded the calls from hackers & core alike to finish the bloddy thing for over a one year period of time. Your one-month deadline for coming up with either a finished implementation or a bit of documentation about the intentions was gracefully extended to more than 6 months before devconf was taken out behind the barn and shot. I have sent you my preliminary comments on your document about a replacement, and that is more than 3 times longer than anything you have ever sent me on similar occasions. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
