Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Rod, give *me* a break. Where were you several months ago with this Burning Urgent Crisis of yours? I've already said once during this little tempest-in-a-teapot we've been having over newvers.sh that, had this been brought up at some time other than the BETA period, I'd have been happy to do something about it! This is basically called "leaving it too late," Rod, a concept which I'll grant you're probably simply unfamiliar with given your own sordid history of taking 12 months to do 6 month jobs. :-P You also grace us so infrequently in these mailing lists, occasionally popping up only long enough to fire a couple of rounds at someone from your little bell tower before disappearing again, that I'm afraid I just can't summon up all that much enthusiasm for participating in this latest attack of Rodness. You missed the boat and you had several months' warning on the sailing date - you've no one to blame but yourself so let's just cut the crap and reconvene this issue *after* 2.2.5 is out the door, at which point in time everyone here who feels so bloody passionately about the value of this little string can debate it for weeks on end if they so choose. After the debate is over and a concensus is reached, I'll be *more than happy* to commit whatever change your little hearts desire. Until then, however, I'll spend my remaining time between now and 2.2.5-RELEASE on more reasonable worries like basic functionality and reading through our oh-so-exciting PR database, OK? Grrr. Bike shelters. Bike shelters! Jordan
