Maybe I should be MORE explicit about this. I don't have ANY KIND OF SOLUTION. I know what the problem is (I think), and I don't think I'm part of the solution. I think that people talking about it, asking gnome/kde/whatever to solve the distribution issue (partly) might be the solution. Heck, the problem *in the first place* is that OpenBSD is *below some critical mass* developer-wise to *really* affect that state of being. Now, you are asking *me*, as an overbooked, overwhelmed developer, to also provide a solution for that problem ? Come on, that's something that doesn't require any of the skills I have. You guys get off your collective asses and start figuring out an actual solution. There's no need to directly involve me. Heck, there's probably little need to involve any of the current developers ! who are *all* vastly busy. It's very simple: figure out a way to get more developers involved in OpenBSD, or figure out a way to talk to gnome/kde/whatever so that we get a better chance at cooperating with them...
