Jordan and other core members have made it plain that ELF isn't going to buy us much and could COST us much stability in the short-medium-term. They've also made it plain that ELF isn't going to be supported any time soon. That said, why do you bother? Why not spend your (undoubtedly) valuable time fixing the linux tools instead of browbeating the FreeBSD camp for not flocking to "the linux way". Enough is enough. Go away.
