Lines: 14 Well, in the five hours since that was posted, I have received mail from members of both teams. The FreeBSD folks were pretty much still receptive to the concept of a merge, though they mentioned two particular individuals on the NetBSD core team who were uniformly uncooperative, obstructive towards the concept of a merge and whom they refused to work with. The NetBSD folks were more-or-less uniformly "insulted" by the whole suggestion of the "Peace Prize". I find this difference instructive. - Bill
