"no" is a fine answer; my complaint is that nobody has said it. Lufia's patch is over 2 years old. Echoline's suggestion to port dp9ik has lead to a valid question on what sort of review dp9ik has had, and then silence. What review would be needed? Who would do it? Would 9legacy prefer to leave passwords brute forcable by default? Any decision would be fine, but from my reading this thread, I don't see one. Instead, there was a long thread about some sort of unified plan 9, without anyone mentioning what they want to unify -- or even discussing differences. No code was mentioned by name, and none appears to be on the way. (As far as I'm aware, I've already cherry picked most relevant plan9port and 9legacy bugfixes into 9front. Are there any that I missed?) ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tc82939f1fda0e479-M6d60ab3efd4369aa75e3598c Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
