Why don't you help us instead of grumbling? Of course there will be some more,
but it may be useful as it is. In fact I've compiled my bin, sbin, usr.bin,
and usr.sbin for those small programs.

Aren't there a lot more bugs in 0.1, even even 0.2 or any other releases ?
Shouldn't we just open up everything and let people decide if they are good
at whatever areas in? Inspiration comes at odd hours and places, and cannot
be interrogated. We may get stuck at some stupid places which are obvious to
everyone else, and yet can be very brtilliant at other times/places.

Let there be variesties and let us decide by making actual measurements by
anybody apart from the selected groups.
