You know, I have an idea... How about making a CommonBSD, which is _only_ userland stuff? That way, if NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD are really interested in helping people, the collection of common_userland + specific_userland + kernel makes a full system. > And we are politics-free: we accept good changes from anyone, we try > to create dialogue with everyone, we repond quickly to bugs, and quite > often end up giving CVS commit privs to people the NetBSD project does > not give such privs to.

You berate NetBSD every chance you get. I have seen this, as have others. Hell, someone who didn't even know your past with NetBSD asked me what was your problem. But, in any case, I too would dearly like to see more cooperation between the *BSD teams. I'm willing to host mailing lists, and might even be able to support it in some small way with a machine or disk space. Dunno yet, but if there is enough interest, perhaps I'll dig further. --Michael
