I have to agree with you, even though I've probably been one of the worst offenders lately when it comes to proposing new committers. It's just too tempting to contemplate some idealized scenario where an entire army is working feverishly away on improving FreeBSD in only good ways, and needless to say that's more of an ideal than a reality. I appreciate this posting for a much-needed reality check that it is. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
