I *NEVER* meant or intended to be asking for any kind of "permission" to undertake (or not undertake) the project from the larger FreeBSD community I was only attempting to collect data to double check my own personal intuition as to what features/issues needed to be addressed if an when such a project goes beyond the "neat idea" stage 2. I was not attempting to say mine was the only "true" way or that it even made sense to incorpate any of my ideas into any aspect of FreeBSD (even after the coding is done) 3. Unlike the majority of the FreeBSD community (it seems) I believe in early and frequent user involvment in system development and that was my one and only goal with the survey (and a few follow ups I have in mind) 4. The reason for not releasing any of the survey results is not to "play" games but to avoid the "california presidential election syndrom" (people do not vote because the networks have already called the election) - -- Aryeh M.
