Well, the FreeBSD project owns its servers (they're all at Yahoo!) and I think the percentage of "top developers" who work for any corporation matching that description are low enough and stubborn enough that I don't see how "massive ungoodness" could happen. Don't also assume that said developers will just roll over and submit to the will of their employer if things go sour, either. Just about all the ones I personally know of would simply print their resumes and walk out in the face of massive pointy-hairedness since all the "top developers" know they're also massively employable here. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
