I wont accecpt that YOU guys offloads YOUR maintenance on > our backs, we have had PLENTY of that allready, thankyou... actually it's not a maintainance for you.. actually the opposite. To me it means I can easier maintain the whole thing.. Without it I maintain only ours, and then have to worry about if I back-ported fixes to freeBSD. We've already pulled several bugs out of this code for FreeBSD and more will come. I accept that you won't take this simple change into 2.2, but that's fine. I offered, and you decided no. My reasn for doing it is that I don;t want to diverge from FBSD enough to divert my attentions away from it. The utility to us is undeniable, so we'll bear the cost. > > Now kill this thread, and get back to work... yes SIR! > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team > Even more code to hack -- will it ever end > ..
