Maybe this policy has been > waived for 3.0-R ? Oh, I have no idea. For instance, I mailed Oliver Fromme, the maintainer of the tosha port with the latest CAM patches for tosha. That was a week or two ago, and he hasn't responded. I suppose I should either just commit the patches, or get someone who's a little more ports-savvy to commit them or something. So what do we do when the maintainer either doesn't respond, or is too busy to handle it?
