Constantine,
Just like with any other project there is a balance here between
innovation and tradition. You may feel that we are on the wrong side of
that fence, but it doesn't change the fact that if you want your code
accepted by FreeBSD you need to do it "the FreeBSD way."
That said, there is still room for innovation, and new code (or new ideas)
that provide significant added value are always welcome. Based on what
I've read from people people who know a lot more about kernel interfaces
than I do, it would seem to me that your approach does not meet that
criteria. So continuing to argue, point fingers, and sling mud only serves
to make you look bad, and doesn't serve to actually get anything done.
It's already been suggested that we draw the curtain on this act of the
play, and I would like to second that. If you want to ask for help,
propose a way forward, or discuss something constructive about this code,
I suggest you take it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Otherwise, I think we could all
use a rest.
Doug
