I'm back from a bit longer Easter vacation and absence and the first thing I did
was to peek into agate and look at the directory dates and I was surprised
to see something called NetBSD-0.8.

Hhm, thought I, Bill has released something new, perhaps a 386BSD based on
more things from the Net-2 release. But the closer I was looking and the
more I was reading the news the more grew my disappointment and anger. 

I must tell the creators of this thing: I'm not happy with it ! This has been
an unholy decision. 

This is leading to diverging activities: We now have 386BSD-0.1, patchkit 
and Net386BSD ! For what should we post further patches, amendments etc.?

Did this all happen in accordance with Bill Jolitz? I'd be really surprised
if that would be the case.


This all is of course my opinion but I believe I'm not alone.
