I think we should be careful that we don't displace the ``balance of programs'' in FreeBSD - for fear of changing the overall feel of the system. What decides if a given program is move-to-ports'able or if it's upgrade'able or even contrib'able ? There are definitely a number of programs that fall into the ``should-change'' category. > -- > -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) > Disclaimer: Not speaking for FreeBSD, just expressing my own opinion. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
