Hang in there. I suspect that, now that it's actually committed, you'll be getting a LOT more feedback. I've had a look at the stuff you've brought over from NetBSD and I'm _very_ excited about it. I'm particularly impressed with the degree to which you've tried to stay true to the NetBSD implementation, not to mention the fact that you've pressed on in spite of a lot of criticism from folks who hadn't really given rcNG much thought, and a lot of apathy from those of us who're just plain short on time. I'm about to try my first rcNG bootstrap. I'm confident that there are lots of people who, like me, are much more likely to test stuff if it's in the tree and just requires the flick of a switch to turn on and off. So hang in there!
