You don't remember the 100+ patches in the patchkit?
When FreeBSD boots, it uses my init_main.c. SYSINIT was *my* baby,
as is the kernel process starting code used by updated (now syncd),
etc..
You are using my reference counting changes to mount.c.
You are using my LKM code; if you had problems, it's because you
waited so long, and then acquired it from NetBSD instead of me.
But you are right; I don't have the luxury that committers have,
in being able to cvs update directly from Freefall, commit the
changes, and turn the process around in a short enough time
that nobody notices the breakage. People actually notice my
mistakes, but it's the fault of the process *you've* imposed,
not because my code is different than anyone elses (well, I
tend to touch more things at once; that's what happens when
you look at big pictures -- that's the same problem everyone
else who looks at big pictures has).
PS: Did someone specifically kill the mailing of my PATCH.C that
contained the actual patches?
