It rarely has resulted in the > promised work. I don't think this is the right way forward. I'll point out that my vap work languished for almost 3 years waiting for help to convert drivers. That help never really came; people did pitch in towards the end (not to belittle the help I received) but in the end it took sponsorship to see it into the tree. Even now there are drivers that are unfinished (ipw comes to mind) and much work still remains. I am solidly behind Ed and believe his plan is the correct one. Sam
