Shaun, altough I agree with you to a certain extent, keep in mind that
des@ is a committer, and has been for a long time, so he probably has
far more insight of what has happened. I'm not happy with the situation
either, but I understand that it's not something that has happened in
the last few days. I saw this coming for a long time. Matt is one of the
most talented persons I've ever seen. [Un]fortunately, that's not enough
when one works in a project. I learned the hard way how difficult it is
to work with other people. Don't underestimate that. About the lack of
openness in this matter, I'm not happy with it, but I respect core@
decision, and, since Matt himself has been quiet, I assume he wants it
that way too. I hope Matt keeps contributing to the project.
Most people don't understand how hard it is to be a core member. I think
Jordan talked about it once. Try to look at the whole picture.
I love FreeBSD and will love it for my whole life, don't let one
decision of core@ influence your choice of an operating system.
/me goes back to fix bugs in sysutils/thefish
