Actually, I'd like to see both projects proceed, but apparently what non-core contributers to FreeBSD think doesn't matter.  Maybe 
all of the VOLUNTEER testers for -current should take your advice and go to NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, or open-Solaris...  Maybe their 
opinions would be better received.

As far as opinions are concerned, you have expressed yours, and I kinda hope it doesn't represent that of the entire core team.

Opinions were asked for.  Testers were asked for.  I'm offering both.

I don't think when Julian asked for opinions and testers that he was specifically asking core team members only.  Julian, if this is 
not the case, please speak up, and accept my apology for butting in with my opinion, and my offer to take you up on your call for 
testers.

All I did was write in support of getting some promised 5.0 items into 5.0, even offering to test them!  Excuuuuuuse me!  Shame on 
us peons for speaking our opinions!
