I strongly disagree. He and his company may have a far larger investment in FreeBSD -- in dollars and man-hours -- than any committer. In the case of a commercial product, users can vote with their wallets. The way FreeBSD is currently organized, they do not even have that much influence. This is topsy-turvy. This is open source; the user constituency deserves MORE, not LESS influence than it would have on commercial products. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
