I'd love to do that, but am not quite sure how I'd go about it. If you read the l-k mailing list, you'll see Linus calling kqueue "overengineered", and what he is proposing is something that is definitely not well thought out. Other than whacking him on the head with a stick, any ideas on how to get him to turn away from the "NIH" syndrome? -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
