Time for another public offer: If people send me patches, I'll integrate them. So far I've received two that were integrated (and one of those was against -current, but with the request to try to backport it to 2.1.x please). If people want to pay me to give the level of support that Richard wants to the 2.1.x branch, then contact me privately and I'll give you a good rate.[*] My appologies for such a blantly commercial message, but at this point in the curve it is put up or shut up. Send me patches, or make it worth my while to go looking for good patches. Otherwise, be grateful and satisified with what people are volunteering to do out of the goodness of their hearts. Warner [*] I'm sure there are other FreeBSD contributors with consulting businesses that might also be available, should an offer be made.
