This isn't true. Julian committed a huge diff, it failed, he backed it out.

And OpenBSD. Actually, that's not entirely true either. FreeBSD had a boatload of vendors not in NetBSD, and there's general agreement that the OpenBSD shortness of names is a good thing. : > I'd also like to merge more predictably.

Feel free to : take my work-in-progress and start from that. As you see, it's : taken two weeks for me to get where I am today, that normal : people need maybe two hours. I did the first round of merging in about an hour, along with the merge backs to NetBSD. My big worry is breaking things on NetBSD when I merge back things there, so I really want to be cautious and do things very carefully. Warner
