Hello My request for information on current development policies was in know way a judgement on Paul's quality of development. If my request was taken wrong, because of it's implicit connect to the previous -current make world failure, I would like to apologies to Paul. Paul I'm sorry if you took my post the wrong way, please continue your development on FreeBSD it is appreciated. On the other had I did not receive a single message on formal development policies for FreeBSD. I assume the policies for FreeBSD are then just personal development policies? Eric J.
