The bright people of the FreeBSD project don't wanna. I strongly suggest that you refrain from discussing the quality of DJB's code and the feasability of auditing and integrating his code unless you are able, willing and prepared to do judge that quality first-hand and perform that audit and integration yourself. (I have first-hand experience with DJB's code, and would prefer to never have to look at it again, especially not in my free time.) > It's nowhere nearly as complex as the > TCP/IP stack, for example. Unlike DJB's code, the TCP/IP stack code is nicely formatted and well documented.
