I completely understand the apparent situation - if you look at it from all angles it appears to be no different than that of the people apposed to the recent scheduling changes FreeBSD has made. There's a limited amount of people and time to do everything. > you'd like a distribution supported for longer then offer to help > maintain it. You may be surprised how helpful people get when you > offer to help. :0 Again IMHO the only message coming across here is either do it yourself or keep your mouth shut. The other side of the coin here is - what's to say the FreeBSD project requires what I can offer? Granted it's been sometime since I've browsed the entire FreeBSD.org site but last I checked there wasn't an area devoted to the needs of the project. Furthermore, just because someone isn't providing assistance doesn't mean that their concerns should go unheard. It's quite possible what was proposed is an awful idea and if it is so be it. But it would appear as though it wasn't even considered. Regards, Chris
