That's not what Chris said. He said "we've given this effort to everyone. We will certainly not deny it to you." Remember the situation between CSRG and Bill... this isn't like that. > Free software lives on > *contribution*, sending diffs to guys coordinating these things. The only people visibly co-ordinating things are the patchkit guys. Bill's off in his own space working on what sounds like some really interesting research... but it's not the sort of high profile co-ordination that this needs, or like the FSF does. And many if not most of the patchkit guys are also involved in NetBSD. > One, usually very well working fix is to leave the job to > someone who can coordinate with others.
