David said of the retailotry nature of the commit "..." Late Breaking News: In order to keep the continuing series of retaliatory commits from escalating to a level that would actually get customer's notice, BSD/OS announced late today that it would be offering itself for sale to RedHat, Sun, Novell, *anyone*, in order to then in part exchange vital programming data (the computer equivalent to "vital bodily fluids"), but mainly to get in the exchange an adult source and engineering management toolset and team. "Real lives are at stake here" said Jordan Hubbard, mumbling, sotto voce, "mine!" afterwards, when interviewed while leaving via SacMetro for yet another conference. "We've tried to manage this on our own, but it's getting ugly in the ranks.". It remains to be seen whether this will slow the escalation of commits that has rocked the core FreeBSD group over recent weeks, or whether this will spread to the industry as a whole. -30- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
