Too simple. It's not the "code complete", it's the correct code to implement a part of the overall goal. And we should be working together, not duplicating each other's efforts. > I've had quite enough of people telling others to hold off because > "i'll have the feature any day now", or "that fix is in my local > tree". That's a detail, though admittedly one that needs to be addressed. We have more serious issues. Last Friday I asked for an overall project plan, and I still haven't seen one. Yes, we had some useful discussions, but it's still not enough. If it took Sun 8 years of (relatively) careful project planning to get their SMP up to a reasonable standard, how can we hope to succeed if we don't even decide what we're trying to do? Two years ago I spoke with you on the phone about SMP, and said that I didn't think that the project could cope with such a pervasive change. That's why I was happy when BSD[Ii] dropped both the design and the code into our lap, and we had an SMP project manager (for all of 6 months). Looking back now, we're making the same old mistakes.
