This is the problem with confusing "rules" and "guidelines". It's also a fundamental problem with having written "rules" at all; we stop being a functional collective and start accumulating lawyers. So if we're going to have rules, let's propose one more; - Any attempt to manipulate the rules to advance a personal agenda shall be considered fair cause for permanent revocation of commit rights. Interpretation of this rule must, of course, be subject to it. (Yes, this is a joke. If you think the above is a good rule, you are part of the problem.) -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
