You're eliciting responses from a TINY percentage of the people who use FreeBSD and ports and *extrapolating* from that tiny sample that 1) something is wrong with ports and 2) something actually needs to be done about it. You haven't even BEGUN to gather data. Yet you're already moving on to your "second phase"! Furthermore, you take it upon yourself to insult the very people who actually *do* write the code and make this thing work while polluting this list (and several others as well) with stuff that *very few* (very few is defined as less than 1% of the readership which represents perhaps 1% of the total users of FreeBSD) people care about. And you wonder why others' patience grows short? Have you even noticed that the sharpest criticism of your "ideas" has all come from people with "@freebsd.org" in their email address? Do you know what it takes to get one of those? Please, please, spare us all the pain. Go write some code. Submit a PR. Then argue the validity of your code on the developer's list. You're already in my killfile. I'm about to put you in /dev/null. -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/
