There's a lot that wasn't quoted: Examples are Core voting, announcements, etc. This list is not intended as a place for code reviews or a replacement for the FreeBSD architecture and design mailing list or the FreeBSD source code audit mailing list. In fact using it as such hurts the FreeBSD Project as it gives a sense of a closed list where general decisions affecting all of the FreeBSD using community are made without being "open". And that last one clearly states that what was accussed should not happen... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
