First of all, I was not discrediting him. I mean that "I'm sure" things have changed since then, because if they didn't, then the OpenBSD project would not exist today. But now that you mention it, I was curious to see if things really HAVE changed. Looking at the misc@ archives for last month, I can easily find posts that bring out the best of Theo and the traditional OpenBSD attitude: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-12/0053.html And then someone blames it on the vendor, and not the driver... http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-12/0056.html And some more welcoming comments from the OpenBSD users... http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-12/0062.html Then a handful of ashamed OpenBSD users apologize for the group... http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-12/0095.html Everyone realizes it's all fake, and we hear more encouraging words from the users... http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-12/0139.html I don't know how many times I've seen this stuff on that particular mailing list. It looks like the "if you don't like it, go away" attitude is still strong among OpenBSD users/developers. Like I said, NetBSD suits my needs so I'm not really all that excited about whether or not the OpenBSD crowd is more accepting now. I don't see anything that OpenBSD has, that NetBSD (or Linux for that matter) doesn't have and that I would really need. > Please stop.
