As a longtime user I certainly want to know: what's going on? Dillon isn't any ordinary committer -- he is perhaps the guy most responsible for making FreeBSD 4.x the most rugged and stress-proof free operating system in existence. (Not to mention his indirect contributions to fixing the linux VM: his reputation extends beyond FreeBSD.) The mailing list archives offer no clue. Surely some explanation, and not just to developers@, is required when his name is scratched out. - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
