Please just stop responding to this person or we're going to have to migrate to moderated lists. You're legitimizing the voice of one person who project members have spend hours of their time (some even in person) trying to explain the time tradeoffs of supporting graphics. For some reason he isn't capable of understanding the technical issues and he isn't capable of constructively engaging the project. Thank you for your understanding. -M On Sun, Aug 26, 2018 at 3:33 PM Larry Rosenman <ler@freebsd.org> wrote: > > On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 06:21:57AM +0800, blubee blubeeme wrote: > > > > You seem to miss the point where the you avoid breaking the system for any > > users not on the bleeding edge. > > > > You technically adept guys can keep on hacking away, jumping through hoops > > and building your stuff as you see fit. > > Nobody will come take your steal your code away in the night.
