Your mail unfortunately adds nothing to this discussion - you produce more hot air, but again nothing of substance. It would be more productive if you pointed out specific examples of what you think does not belong into the module, and what, and why FreeBSD as a project asks this from upstream authors. I think it is unreasonable to expect me to guess what you complain about when you can't even bring up a single specific example (or even refuse, as adamw does). =46rom what I can see, you can't even agree with adamw on this - he seems to criticise the contents of the module, you seem to criticise the Changelog (which is what you quoted - but this is of course just a guess, as you won't tell). This is important - you seem to claim that personal opinions are not allowed in FreeBSD. Do you also complain about every GPL copy (which contains personal opinions)? Whats the reasoning behind this rather insane-looking rule? In any case, I think I ahd a reasonable question and I am trying to discuss it in a reasonable way. That's not something I can say of you: Your mail does nothing to solve the problem, it only adds more unsubstantiated claims. --=20 The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----=3D=3D- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----=3D=3D-- _ generation ---=3D=3D---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --=3D=3D---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schmorp@schmorp.de -=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
