I'd like to do so in this case. I think creation of a parallel code track would be detrimental to FreeBSD development effort at this time. There are many out here who have considered such action from time to time... counting to ten helps. A loosely-coupled collaborative effort such as FreeBSD is an amazing thing. I'd be really disappointed to see it fragment over hot words. -- Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good
