*sigh* Matt, this isn't the first time you've done that.  Looking back
through the core archives, we've had complaint upon complaint about
your behaviour on the project.  We've tried to work with you, and it
doesn't seem to help.  Apart from this commit message, core has had
two further complaints about this particular commit.

These problems were one of the reasons we issued guidelines on
acceptable committer behaviour a month ago.  These guidelines state,
amongst other things:

  4.  Any committer observed to act or speak in a way that is in
      conflict with the normal rules of interpersonal politeness, or
      in conflict with the best interests of the FreeBSD Project will
      have his or her commit bit suspended for 5 days. Any member of
      core can implement the suspension without the need for a formal
      vote within core. The suspension will be published on
      -developers.

I believe you have acted in such a way.  I thought that possibly you
hadn't noticed that jdp was the maintainer of this part of the tree,
but obviously this commit makes clear not only this fact, but also
that you have offended jdp in the process.  I note that you have been
sending mail on the subject of your commit, but you didn't seem to
think it necessary to apologize to jdp.  I am therefore suspending
your commit bit.

Although this rule allows a single core member to suspend a commit
bit, we have unanimity in those 3 core members who are currently on
line.  In the next few days we'll decide how to handle the issue
further.  An apology on your part to jdp would be a good start to
resolving the problems.  Going non-linear would not.

I'd like to stress one thing: this is in no way a criticism of your
solution.  But for the sake of the project we have to work together,
and you're just not doing that.

Greg
