I think we're letting paranoia get the better of us just a little bit here now. :-) Assuming that Amancio even had the time to go start another *BSD, and I don't think he's so foolish as to want to give up that much of his life in any case, there's a world of difference between somebody splintering away from the core group of NetBSD after a protracted battle for control of one of their architecture ports and Amancio and I shouting at one another in -hackers. For one thing, Amancio and I have been shouting at one another on and off for at least 4 years now and it's been both better and worse at various times. Amancio also isn't a member of core or even a FreeBSD committer at the moment so there isn't exactly a large emotional investment at risk here, certainly not enough to want to go start a whole new BSD just to be able to say "foo!" to the other BSDs. It generally takes something a bit more substantial, like a Sparc port, to make one want to go do something like that. :) In other words, Amancio is hardly Theo. Nor is he Elvis. The black helicopters are not coming for you, Kaleb, and you can go back to sleep. ;-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
