i am not blaming anyone. but the whole system is being changed because one application is misbehaving. it is not making a whole class of problems go away (so far noone presented any examples how this was a problem besides firefox), it creates new ones. this is inconsistent with what i became accustomed to both in terms of openbsd philosophy and that of ports@ if an application is broken, fix it or make a cludge in the package. this is the ports approach. i wouldnt be surprised if someone in the thread called me now a whiner because i have already written 4 mails because of this and i am not a developer and i "dont get the problem anyway" and i should go and run linux. but sometimes people need to be reminded to keep going in the direction they have created even if that means they will call you a whiner. and of course in any case i can deal with it on my own. but just like everyone else i like to be as close to the released system as possible. anyway, i presented my case, and also rest it. i just felt necessary to voice my opinion for what it's worth. thank you for your attention. -f ps. i am not hostile. even. a. bit. -- the worst form of failure is the failure to try.
