Perhaps I'm mistaken, but these statements seem to show a bit of an
attitude. The "attitude problem" evident in the OpenBSD web page is
that many of the features seem to be described in terms of what the
NetBSD folks screwed up or are too lazy to do, but that he graciously
did correctly and quickly.
Wait a second. I was an integral part of the NetBSD project when those
design goals existed there.
Forgotten that part of the NetBSD story?
OpenBSD is different. Unlike NetBSD, which restricts who can work on
the project, OpenBSD very much encourages anyone who can code to come
work with us.
Those aren't just words, it's one of the most significant differences
behind OpenBSD.
Not to mention that one of the first things he bothers to mention
about his version is that it's "not political". Such statements made
so soon always sound political to me.
Ok, now I'm sorry, but I've never seen your name before attached to
any code in the source tree. Can you remind me which pieces of code
you wrote?
