So the issue is, (a) Matt's work, and his presence on mailing lists, is very valuable (according to us users); (b) his attitude with other developers is not helpful (according to developers). Linux has faced far worse problems, with (apparently) much more prickly developers, and still worked things out. See, eg, these two related articles -- http://lwn.net/Articles/8093/ http://lwn.net/Articles/8123/ Surely some such thing can be worked out with Matt too, if he's amenable -- have him continue to contribute, both to the code and to the mailing lists (I assume he's not banned from there), but filter his commits through someone else who gets along with him (surely there must be someone who does)? It would be a pity to lose his presence totally. - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
