Hmm? I wasn't saying that. I was merely commenting on Garret's words that he wasn't particularly fond of it. My words were meant to say that if the idea and the code is good, it will get accepted, one way or the other. If they aren't, they may serve as education on how not to proceed. No matter what way you look at it, it will always be beneficial since we can learn from it. >We have already used the new kernel extension to design and develop a >new lightweight Internet reservation protocol, YESSIR, on FBSD.

Which is good, but it doesn't give you an advantage over the acceptance. =) >Thanks for showing the interest. No problem, like I said, it will be useful no matter what. -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project Abandon hope, all ye who enter here...
