I don't agree. Rather what are you hearing is a request that code should appear in master branch on GitHub with reasonable time delay. There are two options, make bpf.tcpdump.org sync with GitHub after every commit or do development on GitHub only. Or the other way around, I don't care. But given questionable reliability of bpf.tcpdump.org (IIRC there were numerous outages for longer time periods in the past) I'd prefer GitHub. I don't care what people do in their private repos, but having two "main" repos for tcpdump/libpcap is confusing and doesn't bring any benefit whatsoever. Or am I missing some obvious benefit of current solution.
