I personally missed most of this whole episode, not being on -current. I don't know about the rest of you, but I really think that any organisational body needs a head of some sort. As much as we laugh at dilbert, management is necessary, and good management is hard to find. I think Jordan did a hell of a job in his time as 'President.' I personally am sorry to see that FreeBSD no longer has any official leader as such. FreeBSD does not need the Linus godhead that Linux has, but it does need a leader to keep it focused. I worked for Anheuser-Busch for 5 years in my late teens/early twenties, 4 of them in a supervisory position. The one thing I learned in all those meetings and training classes is that management is a necessary evil. Jamie Bowden Network Administrator, TBI Ltd.
