What BSD code, exactly, has he developed/contributed? I thought that he developed a whole lot of the Virtual Memory code. A /usr/src/ *.c search finds nothing. A little time at groups.google.com found thousands of Brett Glass hits but it left me suspecting that I was wrong.

Yes, metaphorically; Kris and any FreeBSD user. Again, I welcome a believable correction. I really thought that Brett was a sort of "BSD Developer, Emeritus". Try this one: It's not nice to flame chat-ers because they are not willing to back up their opinions with contributed code. That sort of thing is better suited for -hackers.
