Actually, many things are said over and over on these lists (for better or for worse). And certainly not just by Yours Truly. I think that your latter point is closer to the mark; there's a fraternity-like culture which includes elements of hazing, ganging up, pecking orders, and ego. I don't see these things as having a place in a collaborative software development effort, and think that they've prevented FreeBSD from being as effective as it could be. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
