This announcement puts the practical + detail onto the motion that was adopted at BSDCan 2014, and + clarifies the steps needed for implementation.</p> + + <p>Also in February core revisited discussions on making the + blogs.freebsdish.org blog aggregator an official project service + and also providing a blogging platform directly to developers. + However, security and man-power are both major concerns.

Should the ZFS ARC Responsiveness patches be committed + and MFC'd as a pragmatic fix to performance problems in + 10.1-RELEASE, understanding that this is not an ideal solution to + the problem and will need rework? Should we stop maintaining + support for older (C89 or earlier) compilers in kernel code, and + just code directly to the C11 standard? Broadening out from this + last point: should we have a formal mechanism for deciding what + has become obsolete in the system and when it should be + removed?</p> + + <p>During this quarter five new src commit bits were granted and + two were taken in for safe-keeping.</p> + </body> + </project> </report>
