Similar release-engineering damaging changes are going to be necessary for better SMP and multiplatform support; why not roll in the changes impacting release engineering then? > Secondly, some of your ideas are simply wrong in the minds of > some of the former CSRG people (and others), and we either > agree with these CSRG people or we are neutral but desire to > keep a positive ongoing relationship with them. I'd like the intellectual liberty to be permitted to address the areas where you believe I'm wrong. I'm willing to agree to disagree, so long as everything is open rather than implied (I can't agree OR disagree with something of which I have not been apprised). As to divergence damage to the positive relationship, FreeBSD has had a number of much more significant divergences from the baseline code than any I have suggested. I don't think they would act to damage the relationship any more than the SMP or VM or SYSINIT changes (to give three examples) have done so.
