 And I'm getting sick of being dragged down into details in what
 should be a meta-discussion, thus effectively glossing over the
 major point in order to pick on one or two objectionable
 paragraphs out of an entire posting.

I see you are not interested in doing this.

-CURRENT READERS TAKE NOTE:
No longer can Terry blame CVS, P4, Gnats, our two seperate branches of
development, FreeBSD developers, or the color of the sky; Terry can be
attributed to be the sole reason why these outside projects have never
been integrated into FreeBSD.

Apparently, you weren't paying attention to the
too dangerous part of the discussion, which would,
by definition, keep my examples from getting committed.

FWIW: I specifically chose my examples so that 3 out
of the 4 of them were complex enough that they would
hit the review wall.

Also FWIW: Just because I came up with the examples
does not mean they are my code.  They are code that was
current at the time the project was made aware of the
patches, and the only thing missing from your 5 step
process was the review and commit.

Check the list archives for them, if you don't believe
me.

I'm amazed that I now suddenly own the integration of
all forward looking projects into FreeBSD where the only steps
necessary for their integration are 4) review, 5) commit.

If that's the case, I hereby approve, after having reviewed
it, John Baldwin's proc-locking patch.

As my mentor, I'm sure you'll commit it, now, right?

If anyone else wants their code that's in P4, and not
CVS, reviewed and committed to CVS, speak up, because Mike
Barcroft is here to help you.

PS: Grow up: you can't dismiss all my examples by waving
an it's Terry's problem wand at them.  There's a real
process problem here that needs addressing.
