The "BSD specialist" is just an entry-level certification and doesn't assume that the candidate has the tools and the skills to actually contribute code to upstream (incidentally, I have submitted bug reports and small patches to NetBSD and that was it). For the sake of clarity: I won't propose or submit any changes on this issue, as this is clearly not welcome. Amen to that and let's move on. -- Ottavio Caruso
