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. ______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
