That's exactly my point. What subset of things can and should we focus on? Adding or replacing a language or languages in base should be consistent with the long-term direction of The Project.

(Remember when Perl was in base?) -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
