Now that I've been forced to think about it and see things going in the wrong direction in -current, perhaps sooner than you think. I already got the last of the data structures and the interface details worked out last night. > We still don't have a replacement, so please don't get in > the way of others enhancing it. If I considered this a genuine enhancement, that argument might mean something to me. If I were totally alone in arguing against the change, I would also take that into account and probably not even bother. The fact is, however, that we've done a lot of arguing lately, both in and out of core, about how just running over people's complaints and committing a contraversial change with middle-digit extended is a bad thing, both from a procedural perspective and from the damage it does to interpersonal relations. It also sets the precedent that the best way to silence an argument is to simply commit the code in question over people's objections and move on. It's not even like the debate lasted all that long - 2 days is all it took for Matt to go "screw you guys, I'm committing the change" and that was that. Yeah, I'm annoyed by it, and if the intention was to annoy me enough to commit my own more comprehensive set of changes over Matt's then maybe you guys are more clever than I thought because your plan seems to be working! :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
