What the heck,
I've been hanging around the BSD lists for a while,
and I have to admit what happened to Matt was not
really a surprise as let's say... I've learned to read
the signs.
FreeBSD is growing day by day, and since there is no
real hierarchy in the development, discussions are
very likely to produce these results when someone with
strong caracter finds other people in his way. It's
probably not a coincidence that the VM is an area
where the pressure is critical.
It's not the first time Matt looses his commit bit,
let's hope this doesn't stop him from doing his great
job, and that the commit door is not closed
indefinitely.
The FreeBSD core team is acting as a real team, and
coordinating resources and developers like FreeBSD is
doing is not trivial. Many good people have failed or
resigned where this brave people are still standing.
All I can say is that if they did right they will be
reelected and if they did wrong the system will find a
way to punish them.
I suggest all non developers, and the people that
don't understand EXACTLY what is happening, restrain
from making this more than a what it is: a small
miscommunication among partners in a gigantic but
successful project. Believe it or not, worse things
have happened on other camps and the world still keeps
on.
As you might guess, I don't really think anyone was
right or wrong here, things just happen and it's up to
the community to help solve this problems or make them
worse.
best regards,
Pedro.
