Ahh.. this wonderful suggestion that we use over and over as a crutch.
The information is there, bde repeated it, more information is in the
mail archives, so we look forward to the doc guys who actually mark
things up to write patches and commit them (see how easy this crutch is to use?).
I personally have used it in the past and am trying not to in the future.
I'd encourage others to do the same. There is a time when telling someone who
sends in a PR that says "the ports system sucks, it should be re-written in
python" or "hey, the installer really sucks, someone should make a VGA
installer" that "we await your patches" is almost acceptable. Telling people
who have contributed to the project in the past and are good sources of
information "we await your patches" is almost insulting.
