Thank you for your work on this problem, I look forward to the >announcement. Yes, I personally didn't see that suggestion, but nonetheless, it took a little time to see through the dozens of suggested fixes and decide on the right one. An announcement will be out as soon as we decide on the final wording (almost there). I don't like how this whole mess has come down. There is an awful lot of ill-will being passed out that will have long term ramifications. It didn't need to happen this way. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
