Ofwboot hasn't had many substantive changes in years. There was the early entropy stuff, PIE stuff, and some minor cleanups, but otherwise it's just been left alone. (as it should IMO. it's minimal and that's what I want. I consider this patch to reduce the complexity of the required booting infrastructure in general, as it eliminates the need for more daemons and stuff on your lan.) I was wondering whether I should bug kettenis@ about it since AFAIK he's the main sparc64 guy, but the part that I think maybe should change before it's considered for OKs is the ugly (although I'm pretty sure correct) NFS URL parsing code, which really anybody could look at as it isn't hardware-specific. Is it considered rude to bug specific people about patches? I assumed someone would step forward if they were interested, and if nobody was interested, then it didn't belong in the tree. >> I see.

No, but it didn't contain anything I haven't said in some form on tech@ by now anyway, except for the "Provide a schedule estimate with dates and important milestones in two week increments." which I'm sure wasn't accurate anyway.
