This is probably not an appropriate forum for this discussion. -committers is a closed list which is not officially archived; while I may personally think that this is a bad thing, since it means that public history is lost, there is a reason that such discussions are taking place on that list, and not on generally archived lists. I rather expect that the people who say such things on the -committers list would not do so in a more public forum; simple ettiquite dictates that you not reflect their remarks there. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
