You unilaterally decided to commit objectionable code over the authority of the principle architect of the project.

Perhaps the Project's notion of progress and process conflicts with your world view. If this is the case, feel free to complain about it, or decide that the conflict cannot be resolved, but you will not be given an exception to working within the constraints of the projects development policy. > You seem to make it seem as though every commit I've ever made is > somehow going against the grain of what FreeBSD is meant to be.

This has to do with what the project *is* and how it is run. No developer, regardless of their potential, can be allowed to violate the principles of the project or we will stop being FreeBSD. If the choice comes down to benefiting from your valuable contributions or maintaining an orderly development process where developers enjoy mutual respect, the project will just have to 'survive' without Matt Dillon. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
