No objection at all. However, it is almost always a very bad idea to have only one person look after things. And the FreeBSD ports collection is no exception.

Take a look at the GNATS database, and count the number of PRs that have been assigned to Satoshi. Will, for example, would address some of them, but he is not allowed to. So, these PRs have remained open without any progress for months, even years. > Let's leave well enough alone, eh? No. Not as long as even PRs with patches like http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=8063 or http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=15495 get assigned to Satoshi and then ignored for *years*. Gerald PS(important note): I am not complaining about Satoshi, who has been and still is contributing a lot; I am complaining about this exclusive rule. -- Gerald "Jerry" pfeifer@dbai.tuwien.ac.at http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/~pfeifer/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
