Date: Tue, 01 Dec 1998 19:58:38 -0800 Message-ID: <1958.912571118@zippy.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Today is December 1st (in my timezone, anyway) and we're rapidly running out of year. When we brought this up 6 months or so ago, the general concensus seemed to be that we'd make *some* sort of decision on which way to go by the end of the year. Well, here we are. It's not like our brethren OSes have exactly stood still in this department and what's worse is that we have numerous people standing in the wings just WANTING TO DO THE WORK if someone will only let them, one example being IPSec which is currently languishing in our PR database and has been freely discussed on forums like Daemon News (see http://www.daemonnews.org/199812/security.html). This fence rail is pointy and cold and I think we're all going to come down with an embarrassing medical condition if we keep sitting on it. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
