I've been following this thread at some distance for a while, and I don't understand your definition of ``everyone''. Aside from developers, who do you feel is a good candidate to track the entire CVS repository, rather than using CVSUP or some other method to get only the tree they are interested in? I'm not trying to be snide; it's possible that I'm missing some element of your argument, but I think using the term ``everyone'' is overstating the case considerably. -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
