Because such a thing would: a) just about totally drain FreeBSD's budget in one whack, and b) give no useful results. Again, what's needed is *testing*, not more ideas. It can't be done in one fell swoop, that's what this entire brouhaha is about. The testing is very difficult to set up, and then even more difficult to correctly interpret. It's not going to be subject to the "bigger hammer" approach, though you weren't suggesting that directly. > > -Archie > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
