Do any of >the developers (and Peter the CVS-meister) have anything to say? I've obviously been willing since I've been doing this for over a year now. The problem is that I have no time to work on new development myself. New development is the "fun" part of FreeBSD. I haven't had any FreeBSD "fun" for more than a year now, and I'm quickly approaching the burnout point (actually, I've already burnt out; I'm currently forcing myself to continue in this role only because I feel obligated to get the release out). This is a difficult problem for me. I've intentionally placed myself in- between the release tree (which is currently -stable) and -current in an attempt to improve the quality of FreeBSD releases. If I decide not to do this any longer, then I'm affraid that the quality of the released code will go into the toilet. We need a new model. One that keeps the quality high and one that doesn't prevent me from doing new development. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
