What Poul is doing is committing stuff first, then trying to get validation after the fact (and in a rather demanding way I might add) when people complain. He is willing to dig his feet in and spend weeks arguing over the issue until people get tired enough to either accept a compromise, or allow his commits to stay in the tree verbatim. Furthermore, whenever his commit breaks something, it is generally someone else who has to take up the ball and fix it. I may break the tree occassionally, but I damn well stay on the front lines and fix any problems ASAP rather then force other people to fix them for me. This is the third time this has happened. Every time it happens it creates a huge disruption and every time it happens we end up with a compromise that does absolute *nothing* to prevent a reoccurance of the problem. The commit should not have happened in the first place. My position is fairly simple: I am getting seriously tired of seeing this repetition occur every few months, and I would like something *REAL* to be done about it which will prevent the repetition from occuring in the future. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
