[Alton, Matthew] Is Heideman's (or anyone else's) FS stacking being worked on right now? I tell ya, I spent a good 10 minutes last night in lamentation mode over the egregious and unforgivable termination of the ARPA BSD funding. I'm acclimating to the whole cathedral/bazaar thing but I just jones away something awful for the academic rigor and coordination that the old-timers had. I'm going to think up a way to do something about this. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
