Please just wait until we have something for you I strongly second this motion. We have too many people out there who are babbling about stuff they don't know anything about. The ELF team have come to some conclusions after long hard discussions, and still have a monumental (I prefer to use this word in a more positive context :) task ahead of them on trying to actually getting it to work. If they have to personally soothe whatever feathers that are ruffled all over the place, they're never going to get done. (And I should add that the ports team has a great deal of interest in this, as any delay in the ELF transition is going to mean that much less time for us to work out our stuff before the release.) As they say in Japan, "too many captains and the ship will climb up the mountains". (Ok that sounds differently when translated, but it's supposed to be a bad thing. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
