David's original email said he was going to commit without giving a justification. I call it bloat, then the justifications pour in. I'm now convinced it may be a good thing with a security audit. However, if every committer starting to push his (pet) software as candidate for the base distribution, then the base will grow without bounds. How long did it take to kill tcl from the base distribution, and how long will it take to kill f2c? -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
