Pieces of the 4.4-Lite2 code are being actively integrated. Some of them have already been, some of them are still looking for maintainers. But where's the relation of this to your claim that ``the core team'' might be responsible to incorporate other BSD code bases (where the context of the original message implied OpenBSD, in this case)? > I mean, otherwise there would be no reason for not integrating patches, > even if they were not fully understood by some core team member or other? This is not a problem of the core team, it's merely a problem of that none of the existing _committers_ seems to fully understand your patches. You're confusing things: it requires a committer to integrate something, there are currently 66 of them available. It doesn't necessarily require a core team member for doing this (though incidentally ;), all the core team member also happen to be committers). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
