I'm going to be polite given the hassles of previous weeks but a lot of what gets imported because you're in a rush to get some installation issues resolved ends up being ripped out at a later date, e.g. ftp code, NCftp, then libftp and now some hand coded stuff. David just junked libftp because it's now obsolete, I think it lasted one (did it even last one) release and was only use by sysinstall. A little more patience and discussion regarding some of the things you're working on would be a good thing. I'm not aware of any immediate rush to get a release of any sort done. We're not all sitting next to huge development boxes, I'd like a little more care to be taken with the cvs repository because it never shrinks, it always grows because it records all our mistakes and keeps all that legacy code hanging around. Let's all step back and think before we commit things rather than relying on the ability to back it out later. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.
