The point is not whether "Matt Wins" or "JMB Wins", the point is how to run a project which has a few hundred developers. You can not run it with everyone having some big uber-commit off in their own little private world (or maybe a world with two or three other developers). You have to get code out where everyone can see it, and react to it. Commit it, and move on to the next thing. We are not talking about anyone's good intentions here, we are trying to develop a few million lines of code without driving each other crazy. Consider us "The Odd Couple", except that there is two hundred of us instead of just two. I am 100% certain that both JMB and Matt are trying their best to get the best possible result for the project. It's just that one is using a method which is more practical for a project of this size and interest-level. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
