Exactly! -1 Florent Thoumie's bringing up a possibility and considering to go by the general consensus is healthy though, and I completely appreciate it.

Policies in such projects are generally not against anyone but for everyone. It's nice of the committer that they in a way have sought your opinion. I'm sure you don't want FreeBSD to look like a haywire Linux distro anytime soon. I hope FreeBSD doesn't become a soup. P.S. I am not against the Linux culture, in fact I am happy that they are happy with it. I merely referred to FreeBSD's distinction of being an excellent advanced operating system project from every aspect.

Anything that can affect habits of a larger group of BSDists is at least worth a second thought. Long options are not just about me but a lot more out there who may not even know of the discussion, so I'd try to be more considerate. -- Ali _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
