And that some how over rides the 3 votes for not doing any of these changes? Slow down please. We dont need a bike shed, but I think we need a clear target and a consense larger than 3+ 3- and less than a 6 hour wall clock of discussion. It would also be best if it was this change and only this change committed in very large (preferably about 20) commits. -- Rod Grimes rgri...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
