This comes as close to obvious territoriality in FreeBSD as I've seen to
date and it's especially disappointing to see coming from someone many
look up to and consider a senior project developer.

While we all may understand the frustration associated with people
changing code they don't understand, I believe we need less fear
associated with contributing to FreeBSD and that this is a big step in
the wrong direction.

Please choose a better way to resolve the perceived problem.

Hi Dag Erling,

The type of text you are referring to is well known in religious circles. Why not refer to that instead of making your own version ;-)

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+22%3A18-19&version=KJV

Revelation 22:18-19King James Version (KJV)

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
