Greg-- As I said in my original message, my intention was not to criticize anyone (or to imply that anyone did anything wrong). I was just making the point (perhaps poorly) that phk saw the need to make an exception to the code freeze, and based on his judgement, was probably more comfortable in doing the immediate MFC than jedgar, who was waiting for approval. I wanted people to remember that we are still in code-freeze (ergo not to *expect* an immediate MFC from jedgar). Sorry if I was unclear. For what it is worth, I think that both phk and jedgar acted completely appropriately, and I'm thankful to both of them, and everyone else who contributed towards solving this problem. Cheers, Bruce. --==_Exmh_1122176200P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.2 06/23/2000 iD8DBQE6zoI82MoxcVugUsMRArrKAKD3mj+tI87HaYmHKjRvSs06Axi1ogCffGie C2lJpZ8MzGxwk9wfCj1q4As= =nIjk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1122176200P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
