Hi Warner,

When you make systems and use them, you get bound by them. If a system 
makes a certain solution advantageous, it gets chosen, independent if it 
is a good solution or not.

The reason for our disagreement is simply this:

You are thinking like a politican and want to be popular in the current 
system of FreeBSD.

I'm thinking like a mathematican regardless of what makes me popular in 
the current system of FreeBSD.


Why not state that from the start? Implementing Quick Sort in qsort() 
and using that everywhere is a political decision.

This is not a technical fight, it is a political fight.
