I really have gone over and over the issue of the "Dark Side " of core not just with myself but with other hackers and I am afraid that there is no easy solution on sight aside from having a commercial entity where individuals are held accountable and when they step way out of line they can be fire. Perhaps you are correct and this is the best organizational model that we can have and we just have to accept it and live with it. BTW: The linux camp is in a similar situation -- had a chat with VA Research where I pointed out a simple behavior problem with Linux : I do an ftp download in a linux box and periodically I see a slight pause -- VA research snap back saying that the problem was due to the VM / Scheduler and that they couldn't fix it because Linus held tight control over that section of the kernel. I would like to know who took your commit priviliges away. Amancio Matthew Dillon wrote: > : > :Silly me , I was wondering what happen to you .
