The committers list includes ports people and docs people. The -arch list is the correct place for this discussion and the sort of people interested in it will be over there. There used to be (still is but everyone ignores it) a policy that discussions should not take place on any committers lists because they are for the notification of commits and nothing more. There are a myriad other lists for holding technical discussions. Paul. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
