Spending resources to create more releases is pointless when the PRs aren't getting fixed. "Oh, Look! Release 9.2.2.2.2.2 is out! The system still crashes every 5 seconds, but a typo on the true(1) man page is fixed."
We need a more global discussion about all the things that resources are spent on, and which are the most useful. Replacing perfectly good components simply because they are GPL. The purpose of BSD is supposed to be creating a great OS, not providing software hoarders with a supply of free code to abuse. Sending people to conferences. Nice, but clearly a luxury. Meanwhile the hardware support is a disaster. PRs sit for years and years and years. The documentation has plenty of room for improvement. It seems there are never enough resources to fix problems, but somehow there are always resources to do yet another fork. FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD, and now Bitrig. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
