Well, -smp is certainly not the place to discuss "it", nomatter what "it" is, unless SMP related. (I must admit that at this point I'm not even sure what we're discussing here.) As far as I know there is no "dark side of core" (fnord!), so if people would just concentrate on the task at hand: Making FreeBSD the best UNIX ever, then we would all be much happier. The way to gain influence in FreeBSD is to contribute good code, whining, and pointing out "secret international eric^H^H^H^Hcore conspirations" isn't doing anybody any good. Maybe we should have a freebsd-conspiracy maillist for those things. I'm increasingly getting the feeling that while Linux is the "Can Do" community, FreeBSD is the "Somebody Should Do" community, and quite frankly, being "somebody" is not a very interesting career.
