We have established that this is of minority It seems to me that the typical assumption is that if someone doesn't speak up, they abstain their vote, for whatever value it might have. Thus, given the number of people who have said they don't think it worth it, and given the number who said they would like this feature, I think we've established that this is a minority issue, quite clearly. Since this is a volunteer project, people are NOT going to be polled on their opinion about X, Y, or Z. They'll either speak up if they care enough or they'll be quiet about the whole proceeding. It does seem that this mailing list is entirely inappropriate for this particular topic; perhaps this thread should be moved to freebsd-arch. Or, as Chuck said about 10 messages ago, it should just die. Either way, I don't honestly care. I'm just not going to be convinced to do any of the coding necessary to prune our repository. I have better things to do with my time than something like that. :-) -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
