Sorry, that doesn't hold water. In fact at the yahoo meeting oh so long ago I even said, quite clearly, that I was not going to have time in the near future. And, indeed, I did not. But I do now. While I have great respect for the work John has done, his word is most certainly NOT final in even the most generous consideration of his position. There is absolutely nothing in the charter or rules that give John authority over dozens of core source files in sys/, there is nothing that gives him veto power over anything in the source tree, and there is nothing that allows him to lock-up so many files for such a long period of time. It just isn't there so, frankly, your assertion is pretty damn hollow Poul. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
