I don't agree with either point. It's not strictly up to the project team. The repository itself doesn't belong to the project team -- it belongs to the ON community -- so project teams wishing to integrate into it need to convince the rest of ON (or at least the interested parties) that they're not just tossing useless bits into the gate. Everyone pays a penalty for bits that are adrift in the gate, and we try hard to avoid them (see, for example, the 'findunref' tool). Deliberately introducing things that have nothing to do with the actual source build process requires a bit of scrutiny. On the second bit, a review is a review. If it doesn't pick at nits, then I'd hazard to guess that it's probably not that thorough a review, and what you're characterizing as "ranting" sounds to me like the normal course of issues raised in review. I _expect_ to hear these things. If someone doesn't actually want to see his work reviewed, then I think it'd probably be better to find a gate that doesn't care about peer reviews. Of the ones to choose, ON is historically probably among the most picky. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
