This comes as close to obvious territoriality in FreeBSD as I've seen to date and it's especially disappointing to see coming from someone many look up to and consider a senior project developer. While we all may understand the frustration associated with people changing code they don't understand, I believe we need less fear associated with contributing to FreeBSD and that this is a big step in the wrong direction. Please choose a better way to resolve the perceived problem. -- Respectfully, ./koobs _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
