You suspect wrong. Sorry. Indeed, I already said as much about
the current system, and it's scalability.
Sp please either make contributions that are intended to help the
current process rather than boring everyone with negativity
Since this is a WIP, how about taking it to a specific mailing list
that is not related to how things currently operate. I read
ports@ for one reason, and one reason only, to keep abreast of
potential issues with the *current* system.
It's not hard to set up a mailing list. Hell, I'll even host it
myself if that's what it takes, but as things stand, ports@ (or,
indeed, any other exising mailing list) is not the right place to
be discussing concepts that are, fluid.
As soon we get to the point where user input is less important
(design, implementation and testing) it will move to it's own virtual
discussion space, but as long as user input is a critical component of
the work it will stay on [EMAIL PROTECTED] as several people have said this
is the most appropriate place in the existing structure to do this.

I'm more than happy to take the comments in kind and implement them
in my work with pkg_install. I honestly see no problem with
commenting / brainstorming as long as it's productive.
I'm done with finals and have no major obligations to deal with
outside my '9 to 5' (more like 4:30 to 11:30) with BestBuy, so the
true coding starts now..
Cheers,
-Garrett
