So if a volunteer does bad work, I'm obligated to accept it just because I haven't done better? Alternately, if a volunteer does bad work, must it be merged into the kernel because there's isn't a better implementation? (I believe that was tried at least once with devfs.) And how is the quality of the work to be judged if the work isn't commented, documented and explained, especially the userland-visible parts that *cannot* *ever* *be* *changed* *or* *removed* once they're in a stable kernel release? -- Nicholas Miell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
