Uhm, Ron, I have not seen freebsd core take a stand on this, and I'm a core team member, so I'm pretty sure they havn't. I also doubt that they ever would do so. Remember: Nobody carries so much weight in the FreeBSD project that they can *prevent* somebody from doing something like this. If you or others feel this is worthwhile and interesting, you should just go work on it. You don't need to get "permission" from anybody. Don't get all upset because one or two people come across a bit grumpy on email. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
