I actually find it quite refreshing. From ppp/Makefile's log: ---------------------------- revision 1.69 date: 2000/01/29 11:08:00; author: brian; state: Exp; lines: +1 -3 Remove MAINTAINER= I don't claim to own the code and certainly don't want to discourage people from fixing or updating it. [I know it's the 29th, but the FREEZE hasn't yet been posted to committers] ---------------------------- > In case you hadn't noticed, libfetch is work in progress, which should > be grounds enough alone for other committers to keep off, or at least > explicitly ask for permission to commit, which Wes didn't. I don't want to take sides because I realise that people can become quite attached to code that they've put a lot of time into, but to be fair to Wes, I believe most committers will treat silence as approval. I know I do, and sometimes it's the only way to make something happen. > DES > -- > Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@flood.ping.uio.no -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
