Would you be willing to lose every single other programmer
working on FreeBSD, just to keep Matt? If so, then I would encourage
you to fork off MattBSD.
In reality, we wouldn't really risk losing all the programmers on
FreeBSD, just a significant number of them, and a number of them are
pretty big contributors to the project. When the cost that Matt
represents is larger than the benefit, then it's time for him to go.
My only question at this stage is whether or not we have reached
this point. I hope not.
