Hellmuth, To put it bluntly, the core team was concerned but more confused about and by the open letter, but it had little substance we could actually attach anything to. It was a little bit like sending a letter to the security council of the UN telling them that you're concerned about their performance. There is little they or we can do about our performance, except to do what we've been doing all along: our best. (And we continue to do that of course, open letter or not.) And belive me, we're concerned about our (and the projects as such) performance both in particular and specifics, I think we spent more than 70% of the core-lite meeting time in New Orleans discussing organizational issues. If you have specific suggestions for how to improve things in the FreeBSD project, which doesn't contain language constructs along the form of "somebody should", then please by all means forward them. Saying "somebody should" doesn't work unless you can tell somebody that they're not getting paid unless they realize that "somebody" is them. We don't have access to that caliber of management tools in the FreeBSD project.
