I was going to let this go, but not now. My opinion is just one
data point on a whole range of points about stability. Just because I
don't take the time to re-submit the same PR doesn't mean I don't
help. I've offered to help with many things in the FreeBSD community,
they just aren't code related. My coding skills aren't on par with
anything written for FreeBSD today. I volunteered to call Aureal to get
sound drivers, and offered Cameron Grant any sound board he wanted, if it
would help him develop drivers for it. I called Aureal, and some of the
other sound chip vendors, to get an SDK that an open source OS could
use. I don't have US$10,000 to volunteer to a project so they can get an
SDK, sorry.
I've learned my lesson, any digression from the norm in BSD land
is just bad. God forbid someone raise a flag that everything isn't as
smooth as is believed. Next time, I'll just keep my mouth shut. Jeez.
