Please don't extrapolate the views of a majority of 386BSD users from
the whinings of a few users.  I think you'll find that most of us
belong to a silent majority that greatly appreciates your effort
and devotion to this project.

As far as I'm concerned, you can take until next year to release 0.1.
I won't be any less grateful.  It's not very often that you find
people willing to produce, gratis, a complex product desired by so
many.
