I might mention that the policy I proposed to Jordan didn't say "unanimous"...it didn't say "majority", either, but that's actually what I had in mind. Mike's comment about a quorum is a good one, though, and I think this needs to be a majority of core members, not a majority of those who vote on the issue. Does this satisfy the concerns? -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
